Hi! My name is Dinah. I have been quilting for a long time, but somewhere down the line I missed paper piecing. Don't mean to sound like a dummy, but I have no idea what paper piecing is. Could someone please tell me? Also, I need some opinions please. When my grandmother died at the age of 93 she had been piecing 2 quilts tops. I inherited them, but now don't know what to do with them. They have so much sentimental value & I'm torn between leaving them as they are or quilting them. Any opinions?

Welcome from Michigan!

Welcome from northern NY
Yes, we need pictures. I'm sure you will want to finish them off. They will be so much nicer.

Hello and Welcome from Louisiana! As far as PP goes, try looking for "Carol Doak", I hear she is the cat's meow of PP.

Quilt them. No one likes to leave behind an unfinished piece of art.

What to do then? That's a problem. I wore out the first totally hand done quilt my grandmother made for me. She took pity and made me a new one because I felt so badly. I haven't used the newer one much. One daughter recently reminded me that the children were allowed to use it when they were ill. What do I do with it now? It was on the back of a rocker on my room, but was removed because of the constant cat hair. The cat is gone, so it could go back there even though it doesn't match the room.
