Quilted Paper From Leftovers

I love the the classic look of quilted squares.

So when I have odd pieces of paper left over from projects I cut them into manageable squares in the hopes I will use it in someway.

Especially when the paper is good paper. These leftovers are from a super 3 Birds 12 x 24 paper collection I am presenting later this year.

Sewing paper is remarkably easy. You just have to remember that it isn't easy to manipulate in corners. Unlike fabric, you can't just bunch up paper.

Straight stitches are easy since you can use the foot edge to ensure you are sewing a straight line.

But, you can do all sorts of curvy stitching too!

My final paper quilt is just waiting for embellishment now. These are all squares of paper that would have been in the trash otherwise.
