Make a Mini Quilt: Introduction to English Paper Piecing
Create a coaster-size mini patchwork quilt using English paper piecing. This hand-sewing technique, developed in England in the early 1700s, uses paper templates to create beautiful geometric patches, pouches, bags, and even full-size quilts. Try this simple, meditative, and eco-friendly stitching method, using small fabric scraps that might otherwise go to waste. Build the skills and confidence to use this versatile technique in future projects.
