Looks cute! Got it bookmarked for my bucket list.
|
I remember this from before and I was hoping some people would post pictures of their quilts. I printed out a pattern but some of the pieces are so tiny I don't know if I can sew them.

I made a quilted Fairy Godmother a while ago. Not sure where she is. SHe is somewhere upstairs in the mess that is my sewing room. She is not quilted. ANother UFO that I forgot about. She went together pretty quickly. Lots of fun.

Has anyone else had problems printing the PDFs with the correct 1 inch squares? I have tried all sorts of way of manipulating the PDFs and my printer setting and they are all vary from 1/16th to 1/8th too small.

I made one 2 years ago and they are really cute fun PP patterns.

I learned in another thread, if you use IE explorer to print patterns the 1" block will turn out the right size. I use chrome but switch to IE to print the pattern, maybe it's the same with .pdf?
I also downloaded the free "Foxit" reader to use instead of Adobe and haven't had as many problems with .pdf files. |
Madame Kelly, It would be fun to do it together. I have made some paper pieced quilts, and I have made some paper pieced blocks in the "Block of the Month" thread in this group. That's why I thought the pieces were so tiny in comparison to what I've done. I don't see how it is possible to sew them. Maybe I printed them out too small, or could make the patterns bigger before attempting to sew? Also, I don't have much stash and it takes a lot of different little color pieces.
Can some of you that have done them help us out? Do you have pictures? Were some of the pieces tiny, like 3/8 " by 1/2"?

Please take the time to watch a few videos on youtube under the subject " how to paper piece" before you give up on it? I am going to use it to teach myself to paper piece. Want to be 'paper piece buddies' for the project? We can help each other figure it out.
