What is Your Favorite Technique?
My favorite technique is Paper Foundation Piecing. Wish I could make all my quilts using this method. I have often "redrafted" patterns into paper piecing and I also love to make up my own paper pieced patterns.

I like anything designed by Deb Tucker. Her techniques make units a bit bigger than needed, then are trimmed down to exactly the right size you need. I love how my blocks made with her rulers and techniques fit together so perfectly.

I tried paper piecing just to see if I could even do it.
I didn't really think I'd like it but I do.
It's kind of fiddly and getting rid of all those paper bits can be a major drag but the perfectly matched corners and points are well worth it.
No matter what I do, I simply cannot gain that kind of precision with any other method.
I used to really love QAYG but not so much anymore since I can FMQ and have a cabinet. The cabinet really helps. I think FMQ and quilting an entire quilt is much easier with the flat surface and knowing the darn thing isn't going to tip over. 😄

I'm also a big paper piecing fan and the last few things I've done have been pp. When I
started cutting conventionally to make a table runner I had to remind myself to cut accurately--no guestimating the cuts .

I don't really have any favorites. I love a good challenge and since I'm not that fast at any of them, I just enjoy the process. My present project is one I'm designing on my own and this one was a trial for pictures on the quilt as a memory quilt for where my nephew's been. :-) I love being creative whatever I'm doing.
