English Paper Piecing Workshop - Modern Grandmother’s Flower Garden Mini Quilt

Fee: $15, plus $5 paper kit. Optional $12 fabric kit.

English paper piecing dates back to the late 1700s when hexagon quilts became popular in England.  The technique involves basting fabrics over paper templates and then sewing the shapes together by hand.  In this introductory workshop to English paper piecing, students will learn the basic techniques including how to cut the fabric, baste the pieces and hand sew them together along with tips and tricks to complete the project successfully.  In addition, Jen will also show you how fussy cut fabric and use this technique to create secondary designs with a wow factor.  

This is the workshop project that finishes at 24" X 24".
