I recently started a paper-pieced batik quilt that has been frustrating. The most frustrating part is that in paper-piecing, the stitching is opposite the pattern lines. Today, through the LAP Guild, I attended a class taught by Eydta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts. Eydta designs her own patterns and the most beautiful batik fabrics sold as part of the Moda line. While the technique she taught uses paper templates, the technique, foundation piecing, is much more enjoyable. The class project was a table runner. Rather than a table runner, I will use my squares as the inner blocks for a quilt. The pattern would be a very nice one to scrap. (Double-click photo to see close-up of projects and stitching.)
