FOUNDATION-PIECE

To foundation-piece, stitch fabric

pieces to a foundation paper with

the marked side of the paper facing

up and the fabric pieces layered

underneath. The resulting pieced unit

is a mirror image of the foundation

paper. For step-by-step instructions,

see Foundation Piecing, page 102.

   Pattern onto lightweight tracing paper
   (or foundation material of your choice)
   once, tracing all lines and numbers.

(Or download the Foundation Pattern

at AllPeopleQuilt.com/720 and print

foundation paper.) Cut out traced

foundation pattern roughly^1 ∕ 4 " outside

   squares (positions 2–4), green print
   2" squares (positions 5–7), and navy

Foundation paper

piecing allows me to get

sharp points on teeny

tiny pieces.
