Paper quilting

Welcome to another Technique Tuesday!
I shared the paper quilt Look-See a couple of weeks ago on Make Art Monday. Last week I posted another paper quilt, Not the measure of a woman. So today for Technique Tuesday, I thought I’d run through the basic steps I take to make these.
I often use a mixture of paper and fabrics in my quilted pieces. You can see that Not the measure of a woman has an embroidered muslin patch at the top. Look-See, however, is entirely paper, including some dress-pattern tissue.
Very interesting. It makes my mind really start to think. I am so inspired by what I am finding here.
I have put together a blog about origami quilting, perhaps this is something that you could add to your creations.

Can you let me know if you sell pattern tissue paper. I have tried using ordinary greaseproof paper but it is a bit stiff for hand quilting patterns onto an already made quilt. Thanks Jane White
We don’t sell anything directly from this blog. Do you have a local Michael’s craft store or a JoAnn’s fabric shop? You should be able to get tissue paper there. Or online, MrArt or DickBlick will have it.
