Telephone book quilting?
I was surfing the net this morning and found a utube regarding Telephone Book quilting. The presenter was Eileen Thomas and she gave the introduction but with my computer was not able to connect to the demo. she talked about. I have never heard of this until now.
Have any of you done this.......I think it must be paper piecing using the pages of the phone book.
Thanks

Bonnie Hunter on Quiltville uses telephone book pages in her quilting.

My friend, Jane Quinn, of Quilting In The Country in Bozeman, MT, did what is known as Chronicle Quilts. The quilts are done using pages of the Bozeman Chronicle newspaper, as women had done in Boszeman's early days. Jane is a great historian when it comes to quilts!

Thanks for the information. I have only done one quilt square in a group effort with paper. So these terms are new to me. Why would you want to use paper if there wasn't a pattern involved. Maybe I am dense on this.

For me, It's a foundation when I sew strips together. It gives me an idea of how much space I need to cover and helps me not to put very small pieces in corners. If you have very small pieces in your conrers your seams may become very thick and difficult to sew through.
Really check out Bonnie Hunter's site, she'll explain in great detail. quiltville.com
