"Not real quilting"? Last I checked paper piecing was just a way to help be more accurate and precise. And from the looks of it you're doing awesome.

:!: WHAT???? I have never heard anyone say that before. Paper piecing is one of many techniques used to make a quilt. So is applique and patchwork!

Sorry to tell you this, but your mom is wrong! Paper piecing is just another way or technique of piecing, nothing "cheating" about it!!! English paper piecing has been around since the 1800's - if that's not "real quilting" what is?

I'm looking forward to seeing the garden quilt together - your vegetables are wonderful :D And what about using fusible for your leopard's tail?

Remember, there is no cheating in quilting - just efficiency & techniques!
:D

I have never tried but I am planning on try it soon. I want to make an alphabet quilt and all of the blocks are paper pieced.

I just read Shelly's great tutorial and learned a lot. Does anyone else know of a good online tutorial for paper piecing?

Just got into it. I made a teddy bear. No pictures; some one needed it in a hurry.

You are right. Mom's been listening to the Quilt Police.
It's not cheating. Paper piecing is just another technique.
