This evening, I cut a sheet of it to size, inked it up, and started stamping muslin foundations. I like the results much better than using an inked sheet of felt. I stamped about 50 in no time flat!! Shown below are the front of one square and the back of another. The inked lines are clearly visible from either side; reversible foundations will come in handy.
Up next: a day in the life of a foundation-pieced square.

Very cool! I watched you on Simply Quilts many times and I am glad to see you continuing this very clever process. I look forward to the book. I am actually a crazy quilter so the foundation piecing is near and dear to my heart. I do the same kind of this to teach piecing using the sulky transfer pen. Probably not as fast but you can do 10 blocks on one inking. I don't need quite as many as you do at a time. :o) I saw your post on the AA quilters list.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Willa,
ReplyDeleteI like the uniformity of foundation piecing, since my dad sometimes helps me and the squares have to be uniform, regardless of which of us makes 'em. I had been stencilling the squares, but realized the stencils wouldn't last . . . rubber stamping will.
This is the same square used throughout the pending book. I may package pre-stamped muslin squares as a 'spin off' from the book!!
