That is Perfectly Precise Pieced blocks, the focus for my online class, Paper Piecing Paradise. 

For me, paradise is a cottage in the woods on the edge of a stream, a clear sky so I can see the stars and a few woodland flowers and leaves. The geese stop by on their migratory routes too!  

That is the image that was in my mind when I designed and made the sampler project for this online class at the Academy of Quilting.

During this class, I will show you how to create your foundations, select and prepare your fabrics and how to sew perfect blocks every time. 

You can make the layout I used or rearrange the blocks to create a completely different scene that is YOUR paradise. 



This is a paper piecing starter class, suitable for beginners with basic quilt making skills. I hope you will consider joining me.

January 17 - Seminole Piecing
Seminole Piecing is a patchwork method used by the Seminole people of south Florida to enhance their garments. I will show you how to create eight bands of patchwork using simple rotary cutting and basic piecing techniques. The magic comes when you cut the units apart and sew them back together. You will be inspired by my suggestions to use the bands to trim garments and home décor items. You will learn to make a tote bag, bolster pillow and wall quilt. Level: Advanced beginner and up.
