Excited to bring your part two of the Fun with Foundation Paper Piecing series today by showing you the Economy Patch.
This is very similar to last week’s block but introduces a smaller square in the middle of the diamond, as shown in these examples.
As with many of these repeating patterns, it’s fairly quick and easy to stitch together and so makes an ideal base for larger projects.

That is not paper piecing, that is quilting.
Shouldn’t you know the difference, John?

Thank you Elaine, I sure do know the difference. This is foundation paper piecing, which is one technique that can be used to form quilt blocks.

Not getting the iron out till you press the whole block at the end is a good tip. I used one of those fiddly little Clover irons as I went along last time. It kept falling off its stand, and much Use of Rude Words ensued, especially when it melted the handles of my small scissors.
Silvine layout pads – available from Amazon- are good for fpp. It’s 50gsm , like tracing oaper, 80 sheets a pad,easy to tear away afterwards. Cheaper than officially labled foundation paper too. Used to use the 45gsm ‘bank’ paper but since typewriters went out of fashion that’s not so easy to find.
