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.

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

ALSO MY PRINTER IS BEING REPAIRED SO NO PRINTING FOR AWHILE. GLAD TO GET IT THOUGH.
I really like the pattern, and since we have no babies in the family right now, I intend to make table runners and a bed quilt!
I haven't made one yet, but have read the directions. The directions seem to be quite clear and the doll fairly easy to make.

I love the pattern. I am on a fixed income and want to make useful gifts for my three children and their spouses. This is very simple and I can use scraps or bits and pieces that I have laying around.
For Christmas I made my two daughter-in-laws and my daughter 3 table runners each for Christmas, January, and February. I am now making 3 table runners for March, April, and May. The month that they are born in they get 4 table runners. And, fortunately, they are February, April, and then December. With their birthdays spread out like this it is really each to make. I love the Sochi Table Runner. Going to be a great one to add to the group. Thank you so much.
very happy with the pattern and easy to follow instructions
These poems are very nice and will be useful. It is not easy to come up with little poems to have in a card.
Thank you.
Directions are well written and easy to follow.
