Paper Pieced Quilt Patterns

The term paper piecing is a bit confusing, because paper piecing is one of the methods used for foundation piecing, and has become the name most quilters associate with the technique.

Other Paper Piecing Terms

  • String piecing is a popular "freehand" foundation/paper piecing technique.
  • Don't confuse the term paper piecing with English paper piecing -- that's a totally different construction method.
  • Flip and sew and sew and flip are two more descriptions you might hear when you read paper piecing patterns. Both describe the actions of sewing a foundation pieced block.
