Free Foundation and Paper Pieced Patterns
Please book mark this page and check back often. We are trying to add new paper pieced patterns every week.
 Little Monkey Fabric Postcard Pattern This foundation pattern is was designed to create a 4" X 6" postcard sized block. This is a great beginner pattern because all of the pieces of fabric are sewn onto one pattern. The sample was made with hand dyed orange and violet fabrics. If you like the little monkey block pattern but need it larger or smaller, you could print out the free pattern and enlarge/reduce it at your local copy store. |
 Whirl Foundation Postcard Sized Block Pattern Another easy paper pieced pattern this is a step more difficult than the little monkey because it is in two units. Instead of piecing all the fabrics onto one block, you piece all of the fabrics onto Unit A, then all onto Unit B. To finish the block you sew unit A to unit B and your block is complete. Also sewn with hand dyed fabrics- note about hand dyed- make sure that your values are distinct to make your pattern really pop. As you can see in this example the medium blue and dark are much too close in value.- Live and learn. |
My very first dimensional-optical illusion block to design. The paper pieced block was designed with easy draw on EQ6. It is a little difficult to choose the colors to make it stand out. The block is designed 4" X 6" to make a fabric postcard but you could sew several together to make a small wall hanging or large quilt. |
 Bug Jar Paper Pieced Block Pattern Easy and really versatile pattern to make paper pieced jar blocks. You could fill your jars with bugs, fruit, candy, herbs, leaves anything you'd like. Makes a charming wall hanging. Shown in photo are 4 jar blocks not pieced together yet on my design wall. The free jar pattern includes one small jar and one larger jar. You could alter the block to have two large jars or to small jars you may need to add a little extra strip of fabric to complete the block. |
 Hippy Witch Fabric Postcard Pattern Paper pieced pattern sized 4" X 6". Fun and silly for Halloween. If you use striped or textured fabric for the hair you can really change her look. |
 Green Witch Paper Pieced Pattern This Halloween witch block pattern has no hair and a wide triangle face. |
 Crazy Quilted Paper Pieced Pumpkin Pattern Block is postcard size. I made it in brights but have also made it in batik fabrics and the pumpkin takes on a more formal look.
