Just Add Ink # 321 - Just Add......Paper Piecing!!!

Hi,  Just Add Paper Piecing is the new challenge this week.....and I have to admit, I didn't really know what this was at first.......however, once I looked into it - I found out that it was a technique that I had used before.....I just didn't know it had a name!!

So what is it???

Paper Piercing originates from a quilting technique, where the quilter sews pieces of fabric onto a paper pattern.  This allows the sewer to work with small, intricate or uneven pieces of fabric.

In our case though, we use small or intricate pieces of paper or card .


Here is what the Design Team have come up with this week, to provide you with inspiration for this challenge.....
