Foundation piecing is the method used in the crazy quilts. Longer ago they made these, 1870-1900 perhaps, with the silks, velvets, others and then they did the fancy embroidery stitches. They would include ribbons won at the fair, etc.
So your piecing is a very old method. Enjoy, and try some embroidery stitches, maybe you will like them.

I am doing this very same thing except I am doing it with paper. When you get many more of these done, I think you will end up with a spiderweb quilt or something similar. The lightweight muslin on the back is a good idea but since I already began all mine with paper, I will have to continue that way. Look forward to seeing your progress so keep us posted.

I have bookmarked this thread so I can learn to do this. How do you transfer your patterns on to the foundation material like you use when you paper piece? Thanks everyone for the lessons. I am envious of the quilt group teaching the beginner new things. Would love to join one here. m

My latest foundation piecing has been done on used dryer sheets. I love scrappy quilts and this is a quick mindless way to make quilt blocks Love your triangle♥

The stuff that I use is called "FOUNDATION". It is real thin and it is almost like Mohair...that is how thin it is...you can mark on it and it is sort of light grey/whitest color. A expert Quilter told me what the name of this is what I am using and it is called "FOUNDATION". You have to ask for it at JoAnn Fabrics. I love this method and it is so thin that you don't have any trouble sewing right through this stuff. That is how thin it is. I dearly love this stuff and the next time I go to JoAnn Fabrics I am going to get more of this. It does not add weight to your quilt pieces or your quilt at all. It is so thin that it does not add any weight at all.

Thanks for all of the lovely comments on my Triangle.
