Description
If you can sew two pieces of fabric together with a quarter-inch seam allowance, you can do this! This isn’t foundation paper piecing. There is no need to sew fabric to a paper foundation. Templates are ironed to the RIGHT side of the fabric, so there is no confusing reverse piecing. Templates are easily removed, so there are no paper bits to pull from the back of the quilt. This is traditional piecing using freezer paper as your template. Create your own gem using the Octagon Rose pattern.
