Abstract
Methods for English Paper Piecing and paper piecing quilting projects comprised of using pre-cut individual pieces of nonwoven batting having uniform or non-uniform selected shapes and sizes as foundation pieces for creation of the patches used in the paper piecing projects and quilts and leaving those pre-cut pieces of batting that are the foundation pieces in-place in the sewn patches through completion of the paper piecing project or completion of a quilt.
Claims18
A method for facilitating English Paper Piecing and paper piecing quilting projects comprised of:
- obtaining a nonwoven batting material;
- selecting a desired shape and size for die cutting the batting material into at least one individual batting piece;
- die cutting the batting material into the selected shape and size to form the individual batting piece;
- repeating the die cutting process so that multiple individual batting pieces are formed;
- providing the multiple individual batting pieces to a quilter in the form of a kit for use by the quilter as foundation pieces in paper piecing projects.
An improvement to the English Paper Piecing method of creating paper piecing projects comprising the following method:
- obtaining a first piece of batting material;
- selecting a desired shape and size for die-cutting multiple foundation pieces out of the first piece of batting material;
- die-cutting multiple foundation pieces of a uniform shape and size out of the first piece of batting material and thereby creating multiple, separate foundation pieces with a uniform shape and size that may later be used in paper piecing projects;
- concurrently providing the multiple foundation pieces to a quilter for use in creating a paper piecing project.
An improvement to the English Paper Piecing method of quilting comprising the following method:
- obtaining a first piece of batting material;
- selecting desired shapes and sizes for die-cutting multiple foundation pieces out of the first piece of batting material, wherein the shapes and sizes need not be uniform;
- die-cutting the first piece of batting into multiple foundation pieces having the selected shapes and sizes that may later be used in paper piecing projects;
- concurrently providing the multiple foundation pieces to a quilter for use in creating a paper piecing project;
- the quilter cutting pieces of fabric into fabric patches that have shapes corresponding to the provided foundation pieces, but with the size of the fabric patches being larger than the provided foundation pieces;
- the quilter attaching the fabric patches directly to the respective foundation pieces by sewing the fabric patches to the foundation pieces and thereby creating multiple paper piecing patches for use in creating a quilt;
- the quilter attaching multiple paper piecing patches together by sewing them together to form a block;
- the quilter creating one or more blocks in the above manner, wherein the one or more blocks will be incorporated into a quilt top;
- the quilter completing a quilt by attaching the quilt top comprised of the one or more blocks to a second piece of batting material and a quilt bottom by sewing the quilt top, the second piece of batting, and the quilt bottom together to form a completed quilt.
