Paper Piecing Question

Paper Piecing Question
As I am new to this technique, I have been surfing the internet for patterns. I came across a designer (Cynthia England) whose patterns are beautiful. She refers to her technique as "picture piecing" where she cuts each little part of the pattern (she uses freezer paper) a part and then sews back together. Is it possible to use her patterns and do the traditional method of paper piecing, leaving the pattern as one whole piece and sewing the fabric to the overall pattern? I hope I explained myself clearly.
Thanks,
Thanks,

There is another famous Quilter who does this method. I saw her demo it on "quilt out loud" on qnntv. I just can't think of her name. She is a member of this board and has free patterns. I am guessing you can do it the regular way ut I am not talented enough to do it lol on my own.

I looked at her 2 free patterns..the train and the ice cream cone. I think you could do the paper piecing the regular way, but you'd have to do it in sections, then join the sections together. On the others, I'm not sure. I couldn't see the layout.

Cynthia England's quilts use freezer paper but are not technically, paper-pieced. A friend did a lovely picture of hers but there was no way it could've been paper pieced the traditional way.

Paper Piecing & Picture Piecing are 2 different tecniques.
I've done both. You cannot leave the Picture Piecing pattern whole to Paper Piece (I tried).
Try Picture Piecing it's fairly easy
Here's the Picture Piecing I've done
