Quilting over papers



A few years ago I owned a box of small fabric samples and thought they were perfect for making a quilt using papers over triangles. The projects took a long time and the top has only just been finished. I have yet to back and quilt it.

It needn't take so long to complete such a project. I recommend knowing how big a quilt you want and having the cut papers prepared in advance. My pattern is a random one but you could plan one too.

The quilt top is very attractive and eye catching and sewing a quilt like this, y hand, over paper templates, is very relaxing. A perfect project for these cold nights that find us indoors more often. 

I'll report back when I've quilted it!
