Colorful quilter Tara Faughnan shares her technique for piecing geometric quilts with freezer paper templates. This technique creates super precise points and makes piecing a breeze – and best of all, the templates can be used over and over again. Along the way, Tara shares her knowledge of choosing fabrics based on color value and interaction, and then goes on to show how to create your own templates. After that, it’s time to piece! Tara demonstrates how to make a diamond-themed mini quilt, but this technique can be applied to quilts of all shapes and sizes.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Sewing machine
Rotary cutter and cutting mat
Acrylic ruler
Pins
Fabric scissors
Thread
Freezer paper
Pencil and eraser
Sketch pad or graph paper
Assorted fabric scraps in colors you love with a variety of light and dark options
