#foundationPaperPiecing

The seam chaos is unparalleled but tbh not too bad for a self drafted pattern!

Looks very rainbow-y, doesn't it?

Photo from above of a paper pieced wedge with a rainbow fabric order in between two background pieces. The background is grey with tiny stars and swallows in rainbow colors.

Currently working on a wall hanging for my friends baby. She asked for a rainbow and, if possible, pastel colors.
I don't have any kind of pastel but I'm doing my very best to use desaturated versions to make it somewhat pastel...

Getting into the good fabric after a few trial blocks of Edyta Sitar's Alaska Rainbow quilt. I converted it to foundation paper piecing, in an effort to conserve fabric and cater to my RSI that doesn't like marathon cutting sessions.

Half a quilt block, if the square of it were cut at a 60-degree angle down the middle.  Triangles in medium blue, light blue, white with gold metallic spots, and white (plain) are pointed at the center.  The corners are white & white with gold metallic spots.  It rests on a cutting mat, next to a wooden seam roller, a rotary cutter, and a clear quilter's 6" ruler.

In the phase of unemployment where I start churning out crafts. This was supposed to be an experiment in #FoundationPaperPiecing but I had too much trouble keeping the fabric aligned with my markings on the other side of the fabric. Instead it's just vaguely log cabin style piecing. Next time I'll experiment with pre-designed blocks instead of a whole self-designed sewing machine cover. #Quilting #FediCrafts

A quilted sewing machine cover, in place over the machine. It's made out of strips and squares of spare colorful fabric, in the blue/yellow range.

Antizyklisch Stoff kaufen ;-)

Zum Beispiel in der #Patchworkdiele in #Jeinsen
Da werden wahrscheinlich #FPP-Pottlappen nach Vorlagen von #Quiltwerke draus

Here's my finished Round block from Patchwork Labs: Gemology! Fabric from the Kona solids Waterfall palette.

I was able to get most of the seam intersections to line up, so I'm pretty happy. Attaching all those collars to their necklines on previous sewing projects has paid off!

Foundation Paper Piecing is fun enough-- I think I'll try a few more blocks out in this book.

Seeing if I like Foundation Paper Piecing as a quilting method.

This is part of a gemstone block from Patchwork Lab: Gemology by Andrea Tsang Jackson.

The gnome block is coming together. I’ll stitch the pieces together tomorrow, and the will have a unicorn, a butterfly, and a gnome. The unicorn and butterfly are smaller, so I’ll add to them. I’ve never done a quilt as you go project before, but I’m having fun with this one. #quilt #QAYG #gnome #FoundationPaperPiecing

I finished my gnome #FoundationPaperPiecing square today. #patchwork #diy #sewing the only piece I pinned went off centre 🤦🏼 I rarely pin unless it's something super duper important (like taking up my wedding dress). As it didn't require overlocking the whole thing was completed on my antique singer #treadle machine. She may be huge as I have her in a special machine cabinet and only stitch in a straight line but she's working well since we rescued her.

One of my summer goals was to learn #PaperPiecing #FoundationPaperPiecing it's very fiddly and time consuming thus far. I chose a pattern that is quite tricky but super cute as my first try. Will finish it tomorrow time allowing. Thankfully it doesn't require much as my sewing machine only stitches in a straight line (117ish yr old #singer #treadle ). Pattern designer is Made By Marney, be warned her website is full of so many awesome patterns you could spend hours just browsing.

Completed my first #FPP (#FoundationPaperPiecing) block today. Lessons learned:
1) start with simpler design for first attempt
2) don't be cheap; fabric quality really matters with teeny-tiny pieces
3) don't be stingy; cut the pieces much more generously than in traditional piecing
4) even when things are challenging (complete with much swearing), the results can be lovely
Now to figure out something to do with the block... #quilting #MeasureOnceCussTwice

Passt auch zu den anderen auf dem Sofa. Jetzt brauche ich natürlich auch noch welche in Herbst- und Winterfarben. 🤷😄
Die Tochter hat Blöcke in Schwarz-Weiß-Rosa gemacht, auch sehr schick. Das Gesamtprojekt harrt noch seiner Vollendung. #foundationpaperpiecing #handmade #nähen #sewing #butterflycharmblocks

Wieder mal mehr als eine Naht genäht. Sehr schön, wenn da nur nicht immer dieses Chaos im Wohnzimmer mit einherginge ... Begonnen im Juni, als K2 Schülerpraktikum in einem Schneideratelier machte. Für einen Tag bekam sie als "Home-Office-Auftrag", sich ein kleines Patchworkprojekt vorzunehmen. Haben gemeinsam die #butterflycharmblocks von lillyella.com ausgesucht, schöne, im Aufwand übersichtliche Vorlagen für #foundationpaperpiecing. Wollte ich schon immer mal probieren. Schönes Sommerkissen.

Ein Kissen in Patchworktechnik auf einer dunkelgrauen Sofalehne. In der Mitte des Bezugs 3 ungefähr quadratische Blöcke mit Schmetterlingen aus verschiedenen türkis/mint und etwas rosa gemusterten Stoffen auf weißem Grund. Sie sind puzzleartig aus verschiedenen ungleichmäßigen Drei- und Vierecken zusammengesetzt. Die Blöcke werden von einem Streifen in helltürkis mit rosa Miniblümchen umrahmt. Der Rest ist einfarbig helltürkis.
