Foundation piecing, commonly referred to as paper piecing, is a way to construct quilt blocks whereby the pattern is created by stitching the patches to the foundation in numerical order to create the design. The foundation material can be paper, muslin, lightweight broadcloth, etc.
Included in this detailed photo tutorial, aimed at beginners to paper piecing, are six paper pieced blocks that finish at 6″ square. Each block has been chosen as it provides a learning opportunity for a specific aspect of paper piecing.
Once all six blocks are complete, you will have the necessary knowledge and skills to tackle any beginner/intermediate project. You can use the blocks to create a mini sampler quilt or table runner or whatever you like.

- Introduction
- Recommended Tools
- Getting Started – Preparation is Key
- Basic Paper Piecing Technique

Please note: This entire booklet is included as an appendix of the Delightful Stars Quilt. If you have already purchased that booklet, you do not need to purchase this one too.
Requirements
You only need a small amount of fabric to complete the block templates. Four fat eighths, for variety, plus a fat quarter of background will be sufficient.
General quilting supplies are required. I also highly recommend the paper designed specifically for paper piecing, Carol Doak, as well as, investing in an Add a Quarter Ruler

This track helped very much in keeping my Gifting for 2026 organized. The tracker is very comprehensive. The only page I would love to see added is a "Where did I hide it" page.
It's an adorable baby quilt pattern, havent made yet, but I will.
I love the scrappy, cozy feel of this pattern.
I really love that you share the patterns. I haven’t had a chance to start sewing yet, but looking forward to when I do.
I can’t wait to try this pattern. It looks stunning, but seems quite doable!
So in the past, I have had bound planners to keep track of projects. While those are great, they don’t have the ability to arrange and be flexible in how they are arrranged. With the pdf planner, I can print extras of the pages I need, put them in the order I choose, and generally write and rewrite to my heart’s content! I love this planner so far, and I an excited to keep returning to it throughout the year.

I loved the pattern. I had a brain fart and just couldn’t think of a quickie pattern for newborn twins. I saw this and loved it!
I love making baby quilts, this one will be great!
This pattern is so versatile that I bought it for any future fussy cut fabric or theme quilt I might make. There are so many options - children’s, men’s - for those harder to “personality fit” quilts. Looking forward to making this one day soon. The pattern instructions are clear.
These are great!!!! Ready to send with the next quilt
