This method of piecing was invented by our quilting great-grandmas back when every bit of fabric was precious and couldn?t be wasted. By stitching each little scrap of fabric to a foundation of paper, no pattern was required and every piece of fabric could be used. If you are lucky enough to find a vintage quilt top which was constructed using string piecing you might even find a bit of the original newspaper still attached to the back of the quilt top.
Our pillow today is foundation pieced on muslin, which means we don't have to pick all those tiny pieces of paper of of the back.
Enjoy this introduction to string piecing?you might find it addictive!
