The base is completely covered by the pieces and can range in size from a patch or segment to a block or even an entire quit. It can be permanent or temporary and can be made from a variety of materials, from paper to cloth.

This book covers it all clearly and completely and makes foundation piecing a breeze! You'll find ~
