Paper piecing is a quilting technique that uses a paper foundation as a guide for the placement of fabric and seams. This allows for irregular shapes, sharp angles, and precision piecing that would be difficult with traditional piecing techniques. In this collection of patterns, quilter Garro applies this traditional technique to modern quilting, using elements such as negative space, unusual block settings, and contemporary fabrics and color palettes. Many of the projects are beginner-friendly, and the repetitive nature of most of them, in which the same block is repeated multiple times, helps quilters new to the technique proceed toward mastery. The paper piecing tutorial is excellent, with full coverage of everything from supplies to best practices for fabric placement to minimize waste. Reproducible paper piecing foundations are included on a pullout sheet. VERDICT These paper-pieced quilt patterns will appeal to modern quilters who enjoy playing with color and negative space.
