So, I get it, but is this a replacement idea for paper piecing? If so, I'm in. Thanks.
|
Thank you for the great tutorial. :D
|
no, i don't think it is a replacement for paper piecing, i love to paper piece this is just another applique technique letting you make 2 blocks with only one fusable pattern i think they are neat and loved making them, thought others may too.

WOW...That is soooo clever. Thanks for sharing and showing
|
OH MY!!!! I can do that!! thanx so much
|
I love the first layout in your other post on this. This has the finished look of paper piecing without all the hard work or for those of us who haven't had much luck with PP.
Great job and thanks for the tute! |
Thanks--
Even I can do this. |
love this quilt...
|
Im a little confused - how can this block be paper-pieced - I don't see it! I thought it was design. cut, fuse and then stitch or secure - where is the paper piecing part?
|
it is not paper pieced, it is designed on paper back fusable, fused to fabric, cut out and fused onto background fabric...no paper peicing involved...some people are just looking at it as a 'cheater-paper piecing' technique...has nothing to do with paper peicing...
|
Well that is what I thought, then so many were referring to it as paper piecing - that is what confused me - thanks! I DO love that pattern/quilt!

I love your quilt so much (and I seldom "copy"), I couldn't remember what you called it and I had to start a new post last night to get the info and save it!! Jeannie in GA |

i use my 6" fiskar scissors, they are sharp to the point and work great, i thought my embroidery scissors were too small to cut these out and pretty much baby my embroidery scissors, i love them so much...i only do little snips with them...(the stork ones) i have a little bitty pair of very sharp 1 1/2 " scissors my daughter picked up at Michaels one day that would probably work great...they are just never where i need them. the fiskar's are always within reach...
and i think i have a couple pictures of other blocks i've used the same technique on...i'll try to locate them |

I'm also wondering if the blocks stay fused once they're washed? Nice,clear tute.Will have to try this.
|
if it is going to be washed you have to stitch your appliques down just like any fused applique. i tend to be 'lazy' about some stuff and at times will wait and stitch them down and quilt at the same time instead of stitching them all down then quilting... but they do need to be stitched unless it is just a wall hanging that will not be washed (unless of course you know about a permenent fusable that does not require any sewing???) i think i would still be apt to stitch; i hate my quilts coming apart :)
|
Thanks for the info.....I'm not good at zig zag stitch.Maybe someday
they'll come up with a fusible that never has to be sewn down. We can hope.

IMPRESSIVE!
You have almost convinced me to use more fusible in my work ;) <wave> |
Great idea - wonderful illustrations and awesome patience for all the questions. Another technique to try.
|
wow i like this pattern thank you
|
Gorgeous quilt, love the tutorial thank you. :thumbup:
|
ckcowl: What is the name of the other designs that you posted on page 2?? I love the bright colors.

the fused part is the design fused onto the black 6 1/2" squares...i'm posting some blocks from a different project using same technique. i recommend drawing your own designs. but if you want to use that one it is in McCalls Quilting Jan/Feb 2010 |
Stupendously brilliant! THANK YOU!

there really aren't names for the other designs i guess...i just made them...they are going into a 'dizzy in new york' quilt i'm designing...with those colorful blocks and new york beauty blocks. when i showed those blocks i was just trying to show that the sky is the limit for the technique...make what ever you can cut out and have negative/positive pieces to fuse to 2 blocks.

Stunning. You certainly caught the attention of a lot of people, me included.I have seen it done as paper piecing but this looks so much easier & quicker.
Thank you for your tute I enjoyed it so much I've bookmarked it. |
That is beautiful! I am going to try this! Thank you for sharing!

Thank You.
I read the first post but i didnt really pay much attention until I saw your completed blocks. WOW. Went back and re read and paid attention. This looks like something we will all be trying. |

first you need: (1) 61/2" square paper backed fusable (i used heat n bond lite) (1) 6 1/2" square design fabric (mine/hot pink) (2) 6 1/2" squares background fabric (mine/black) next, trace your pattern on the paper side of the paperback fusable. iron to wrong side of your design fabric cut out your design on the lines remove paper and arrange on your black squares...yup, you get (2) 6 1/2" squares for each (1) traced :) see how simple that was? this technique can be used for lots of different designs...have fun with it i sure have Thanks, Jan |
I love it! Thank you for the tutorial.
