Paper piecing?
 

Does anyone have a void pattern suggestion for a first time paper piece quilt?

Void pattern? My go to pattern is log cabin. Easy to paper piece as all straight seams. Quilterscache.com has lots of easy paper piecing patterns.

I am really new, too, but I don't understand what the term void pattern is?

Unless you're talking about " no tear".http://www.quiltnbee.biz/shop/Block-...5-x7562107.htm

Void paper piecing? I'm curious, too as to what it actually is. I googled for Void PP and could not find any responses to that term! Now I'm really curious!

This is a good site too:

Okay, now I'm curious, too. What is a void pattern?

"void" is probably what spellchecker did to the word "good" misspelled as "vood"

Carol Doak has taught many to paper piece- in some circles she is the queen. Visit her website for many free beginner patterns, hints, tips and tutorials.

Funny, it says void but my mind read it as good. Oh well, my question is - what kind of paper piecing? My first thought was English Paper Piecing, but suppose you wanted the one you use the papers to sew on. Good luck - there are a lot on nice ones out there.

That should say 'good' paytern.

Good pattern.

I had never done paper piecing - and then someone on this board started a group to do Carol Doak's 50 stars. Probably not the best beginner project, but I learned a lot doing Carol's method. Though I quickly switched to taking the paper off before sewing sections together, and that is how I do all my paper piecing now.

The nice thing about Carol's book, she gives sizes to cut the pieces, so you don't have to try to figure that out yourself.

Ah, yes. Gotta love auto correct.

As my granddaughter would say "is that a real thing?" Spell check is quite confusing. Thinks it's soo smart.

I love paper piecing and Carol Doak has a really good one in her book - "Teach me to Paper Piece". You might see if her online store has the book because she's closing it and everything is discounted. The pattern she teaches you is a very cute heart miniature quilt. That was one of the first quilts I did. It's fun and you end up with a cute little wall hanging.

if you are just starting PP get one of Carol Doak's book, as some one else said she is the queen and gives very good instuctions. I was fortunate enough to atten one of her classes yrs ago

I signed up for a paper piecing class with Craftsy and I love it. I have paper pieced before but I always ended up wasting so much fabric because I didn't allow enough fabric to cover the 1/4" seam allowances.

I love love paper piecing. It is a great way to get perfect points every time. Carol Doak is awesome. I did one of her 50 paper pieced stars as my first ever quilt. I had sewn for years. I made 48 of her stars in my first quilt. My avatar is her 50 stars quilt. I did it several years ago with the group on here. I am hooked. I am eyeing a Jacqueline De Jonge quilt right now. She has a new one out on November 2 called Infinity.

I am thankful for these tips too everyone...2 days ago I took an (in-person) workshop on (foundation) paper piecing....and just finished my third and final practice block handed out in the class. Sooo happy because I just couldn't get the hang of it from the couple videos I watched, & now I get it...woo hoo!

I had a really hard time wrappinng my mind around how to do pp'ing on my own. I ended up taking a class at my LQS and it was well worth the price. If, after trying some reasonably easy patterns from either Carol Doak or quilterscache.com, consider a class at your LQS if that is an option for you.
