Default paper piecing patterns

I'm looking for a pp pear. I checked quilters cache with no luck. Are there other sites I could check? Thanks

I've done some searching and can't find any for free. Why don't you try your hand at CREATING your own paper piecing pattern? draw some lines across picture of a pear and see if you can sew to make it look right.

On second thought.....Iris Folding is a technique used in scrapbooking/cardmaking. Here's a sample.....I'm sure it can be adapted to fabric. Check out this site then do a search for a pattern.. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/512073420100684853/

Do you have a picture of a pear you like (maybe you can draw one or get a coloring book page). If you do you can take it down and make a copy of it in the size you like. Then you can add your own sewing lines (for pp). When I have done this (I make two), on one I color the different areas of the item in different patterns to see if I need more or fewer pieces and make my changes on the other picture. Then I make a couple of copies and I sew one up, this is my tester. If I need to resize anything I do on my extra picture with just the lines (in pencil). When it looks the way I want it to, I go over everything with a "black sharpie" and make my copies so I can start my production. Good luck
