English Paper Piecing
When you make a quilt using English paper piecing, you'll cut a paper shape for every patch in the quilt. Next, you'll wrap a piece of fabric around each patch and hand baste the patch edges to the paper. To finish piecing you must hand sew all patches together along their edges before removing the papers.
