One of the above blocks was foundation-pieced onto paper, the other patch pieced.Can you tell the difference? |
The sewing of the foundation pieced block, using paper as the foundation, made obtaining accurate placement much easier, even though it did use more fabric. Also, I can tell that when I begin to join the blocks, by leaving the paper in place for the join, I will know just where to place the 1/4 inch seam. So, yes, I do like paper-piecing, EXCEPT for the fact that I use up more fabric than would otherwise be needed.
Oh! Which was which? Below are the same blocks positioned the same way, only flipped. Did you guess correctly?
