Help with paper piecing pattern
I purchased a pattern that I loved at a quilt show recently. Upon looking at it the other day, I was amazed that the pieces are paper pieced. Anyone that can give me any help with converting these pieces into regular templates would be appreciated. I have never done any paper piecing and really don't have any desire to do so but I really like the pattern and there must be a way to just cut the pieces and sew. Any advice or help will be so appreciated.

Can you photocopy the pattern, cut the pieces apart, then add 1/4" seam allowances around each piece? I wouldn't cut the original pattern apart because as MQ2 stated, most pp patterns use small pieces. They don't translate well to regular piecing. You may want to try a simple pp pattern first (go to Carol Doak's website); you may find you like pp--I'm addicted to it!

I found this link-it should help convert to a traditional pattern. https://www.jinnybeyer.com/quilting-...DB5A7E4D24AB9A
