Did you know?

Over the centuries, various kinds of solutions have been cultivated to make it easier for quilters to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these solutions is paper piecing, which is very often taken advantage of to piece the intricate edges of the Mariner's Compass quilts. Paper piecing, as it name designates, uses a particular paper pattern onto which the fabric sections are stitched. The pattern leads the seamstress to properly sew the pieces together so that the completed top will lay out evenly. Solutions of this sort as this are a tremendous support to our quilters!
