The block in the blue quilt was done with a quick-piecing technique using rectangles and squares but precision was crucial making it harder rather than easier. So I have decided to settle on paper-piecing.\u00a0 Print out all the paper-piecing patterns and transfer them to your foundation of choice, be it paper or fabric. If you are not familiar with paper-piecing, there are some tutorials on <a title=\"YouTube\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">YouTube.com<\/a> but I have to say, none were as informative as I would have liked. If you go there, just search for &#8220;foundation paper piecing&#8221; and see what comes up. Some of it is scrapbooking stuff but you may enjoy that too. There is also a nice written description of the process at <a title=\"QuiltersCache.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.quilterscache.com\/StartQuiltingPages\/startquiltingthree.html\">Quilter&#8217;s Cache.com <\/a> you may want to check out.\u00a0 I hope that helps.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/erin.gloderworks.net\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Starr-BOM-Ohio-Star.pdf\">Starr BOM Ohio Star<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/erin.gloderworks.net\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/starry-bom-ohio-paper-piecing-21-inch.pdf\">starry bom ohio paper-piecing 21 inch<\/a> Patterns should measure 4-1\/2&#8243; square including seam allowances.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/erin.gloderworks.net\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/starry-bom-ohio-paper-piecing-6-inch.pdf\">starry bom ohio paper-piecing 6 inch<\/a> Patterns should measure 2-1\/2&#8243; square including seam allowances.<\/p>\n<p>ps.
