For this project, I scanned the original pattern, saved it to my computer and then printed it on this foundation paper to use while making the paper pieced quilt piece. This foundation paper worked perfect! It was easy to fold, stitched perfectly and then tore away with ease. I used the technique that 3 and 3 Quarters suggested in her video of perforating the paper with a
tracing wheel before starting.
Make sure you watch the videos from my previous post before starting foundation quilt paper piecing.
See the little red tracing wheel, for going over all the lines before starting. A computer mouse pad is a little softer than the self healing cutting mat so I will try that next time.
Do you see how the fabric goes on the side without the pattern? Watch the videos in my previous post so this makes sense.
This is it all pieced together. I left the right strip longer until I decided where I wanted the leaves to go so I could move them up and down until they were just right.
This is me ripping the foundation paper off.
I hand basted the batting to the quilted top. I wanted a whimsical look, nothing straight.
And what the quilting stitches looked like before I removed the basting stitch.
I still haven't finished this project. I want to put this on a canvas for the wall instead of making a pillow from it. Will post photos after I finish.
