Short tutorial about Foundation Paper Piecing

My first project of a modern quilt pattern

This type of patchwork was completely new to me. To be able to really concentrate on it, I decided to sew this project during my vacation on a very small island.. Here I had enough peace and quiet to get involved.

So I started cutting and gluing paper patterns on January 14, 2025. Since this cut comes from the USA, the parts are adapted to the letter paper format. I think that when adapting to A4 paper size, a lot less gluing is required. This gluing together requires absolute precision, as I later noticed "painfully" two or three times while sewing, when I had to sew the strips again because everything shifted a little.

Sewing the fabric pieces onto the paper strips: This part took a few "teaching steps" until I had figured out the technique from the 4th strip onwards, without using a lot of unnecessary fabric. In any case, both halves of my brain were put to the test.

2 finished strips make a vertical row of stars. At the beginning, it took me about 2 hours to sew one strip plus joining it to the already finished star section. Towards the end, the time was halved. However, I didn't find the time annoying, but rather enjoyed this adjusting, sewing, cutting seam allowance, ironing, next part very, somehow meditative.

The stripes were the easy part of the project. Mainly because I didn't follow the instructions here and used paper strips glued together, but cut the strips completely and sewed them together. This showed that the pattern is not really synchronized. The height of the strips was not identical on the cuts and sometimes differed by up to 3 mm per strip. Although this meant that each individual strip had to be cut to size, it was not a problem.

In the end, the finished project lies before me today and I am a little proud of myself.

Unfortunately, the instructions don't tell you how to make the blanket, so it's probably assumed that everyone is free to do as they please. I will sew on a narrow white stripe as a border, keep the back in blue and use a "half" volume fleece as filling. The edges of the stars and the stripes will be quilted to give the whole piece a firm hold.

All in all, a wonderful cut for this project, a big thank you for providing it and kudos to the makers! Sam will feel comfortable with his blanket.

As I have also purchased the pattern for the "Freddie Mercury" project, here are some suggestions for extending the pattern:

- Cutting variant for A4 paper size, I think that this can save 30% of paper

- Cutting variant for plotters to avoid gluing together completely (this would be an advantage for the Freddie Mercury project)

- no paper cuts are necessary for the strips, the indication of the respective height and length would be sufficient
