Patterns from Pieces: A Year in Poems and Quilts Home by Anna Grossnickle Hines Guide Piecing with Fabric and Paper: |

Fabric Patterns to Piece: NOTE: The patterns are designed to print on 81/2 x 11 inch paper. Each will make a 21/2 inch fabric square, not including the bordering 5/8 inch squares or triangles. If the patterns do not print accurately, click here for PDF files. For illustrated directions on paper piecing, also called foundation piecing, go to the How To's on the World Wide Quilting Page or this Practice Paper Piecing lesson by Marcia Hohn on her Quilter's Cache site. |

Pieced Paper Designs: Teachers: Framed or unframed designs made by students could be arranged on a bulletin board to make a class "quilt" display, perhaps alternating with plain colored squares. |
