Amish Handmade Quilt Facts

Over the centuries, quite a number of methods have been cultivated to make it simpler for quilt-makers to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these procedures is paper piecing, which is usually utilized to put together the complicated corners of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it title designates, uses an unique paper pattern onto which the cloth sections are stitched. The pattern guides the quilter to correctly assemble the pieces together so that the finalized top will lay out flat. Solutions such as this are a great aid to our quilters!
