Hi! I’m Jennifer Mathis of Ellison Lane Quilts, and I’m excited to be guest blogging at Fave Crafts Blog today! Since it’s National Sewing Month, I’m sharing one of my all-time favorite techniques with you today.
Ready to give it a shot? Let’s get started!
- pattern
- rotary cutter
- cutting mat
- fabric
- ruler (I love the Add-A-Quarter ruler but a regular quilting ruler will be fine.)
- fabric glue stick such as Lapel Stick

| This is the back. You are sewing on the printed side of the pattern. Your fabric is beneath the paper. |
Love this project. Beautiful design.
I have been wanting to try this! It looks so fun!
I like your quilt and the mug rug. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Beautiful quilt and the technique looks easy. Thanks for the tutorial and the giveaway.
This was a pretty block. I have never quilted, but I have a friend who loves paper piecing. I might try something small if she walked me through it. Thanks.
Wow, a great tute, u make it look so easy. Can,t wait to try it. thanks
Very clear directions. I enjoy paper piecing.
great tutorial. I also love your color combo!
I have to try this, and the mug rug is the just the right size to start with
I love these tutorials, especially this last one because I am starting a pp quilt. Thanks for the mystery drawing.
great tutorial Jennifer
Thank you so much for the excellent tutorial – can’t wait to get out my stash & start working on my first square! I’m sure it won’t be the last!
This is an awesome way of doing this.
This definitely excited my “let’s get busy learning a new (well, to me!) quilting method. I can’t wait to share this with one of my younger sisters too! This will be a great “family project” to do!
Thanks for these instructions! I will have to give it a try!
Thanks for more information on paper piecing! Helped me realize where I was making mistakes!
Wow! Great tutorial! And it turns out beautiful! Thank you!
This looks super easy….I’m going to give it a try!
So cute! I love paper piecing because the accuracy and design is so great with it. But I can always tell when I’m getting tired and need a break, because I sew something on upside down. That’s when it’s time for some chocolate.
What a great tutorial, must make some time to try it. The quilt is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing it with the quilting community.
What a great tutorial – I feel even I could do this
looks much easier than measuring and cutting .
Thanks for the wonderful paper piecing tutorial. I found it via our blog! Thanks for the tip of shortening my stitch length! What a great idea to help get that paper off the block when finished piecing! Also, thanks for the two free blocks. What a cute mug rug! Wouldn’t they be adorable in Christmas fabrics for presents (early) for decorating?
This is very easy to follow, I hope to whip up a batch of squares soon!
I am new to paper piecing so new this is my first try thank you for the lessons
Love paper piecing! It wasn’t that hard to learn and the possibilities are endless!
Thanks Jennifer for this great tutorial, I am a caregiver for my father with dementia and also a sitter for my grand daughter, in my spare time usually late at night, I love to sew. it takes my mind away from the day. I am not that great at it though and can’t wait to see if I can actually do this. Thank you
Great tutorial! Makes it look really easy.
I can hardly wait to try this! Thanks
Excellent Tutorial!!! Thank you!!
Complicated made simple! Thanks!
