Over the centuries, many different methodologies have been cultivated to make it less complicated for quilt-makers to sew multi-angled quilts together. One of these methods is paper piecing, which is regularly used to combine the challenging angles of the Mariner's Compass quilts. Paper piecing, as it title indicates, uses a distinct paper pattern onto which the fabric fragments are stitched. The pattern directs the needleworker to perfectly stitch the pieces together so that the completed top will lie out flat. Techniques of this sort as this are a wonderful help to our quilters!
