I am in the process of making a stained glass quilt. I inherited a "started" project when I inherited a stash back in February. They are all paper pieced and I really enjoy doing it. What I have been doing is pulling fabrics, cutting them as you would for paper piecing and then doing one or two blocks when I feel inspired. I am in no hurry to finish it. Hope the following pics help you in your inspiration/idea phase. I attached the finished blocks. She had only made 2 and I have done the rest. The quilt I will make will be 20 blocks. The bin of fabric is all of the fabric that I inherited and will use in this project. It is so gorgeous!!!

Some one mentioned this type. How do you handle the raw edges if you do not cover them with tape. Your tiger is beautiful.

Oh, I forgot. I also do the glass stained glass and you could get a lot of patterns from stained glass books.

I'm looking for a pattern that has just different vivid colors separated by the black "lead". They are so beautiful, but I need a pattern. Not ready to just create. Any suggestions?

Roseysue

Thanks Christinetindell. Those colors are just outstanding and what I am looking for. I have never paper pieced and would have to find help for that. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Roseysue

I will see what I can find. You're right. I'm sure there's lots of info on the stained glass out there.

all the stained glass shown here are beautiful. Very inspiring. Have this on my list for after the first of the year.

The paper pieced method is easy because you don't have to deal with bias leading, you just use black fabric as is. I love the book 'Foundation Pieced Stained Glass Quilts II by Liz Schwartz & Stephen Seifert and it can be purchased on eBay for $9.95.

you can buy ready made bias or make your own and stitch it down whichever way you want
