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.

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

from 565 reviewsLove the simplicity, but enjoy how it looks detailed.
I have NOT yet made this quilt, but I did read through the instructions. They are clear and well-illustrated. I think it will be fairly simple to do, provided I can keep from stretching those bias edges!
I received the pattern. Thank you! I have not made this yet but looking through the pattern, it seems easy to follow and I love all the step-by-step photos. I look forward to making this quilt in the near future.
Looking forward to making it.
Unfortunately recovering from thumb/wrist surgery so no quilting for awhile but I look forward to using it in the future.

Well designed sewing activity project organizer and planner.
I have so many hankies and this quilt looks like a lot of fun to make. I have been cleaning out my sewing/craft room and hope to start on this in a month or so. Thanks for the neat pattern.
I can’t bring my heavy machine, so I was very glad that there was the option to rent a machine.

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.
