Way way back in issue 38 of Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine we featured a Fantastic Fussy Cutting project booklet by Alex Luenz. We packed it with Alex’s clear instructions for eye-catching fussy cutting projects, along with her fussy cutting guide, to get you whipping up beautiful EPP projects in no time!

At the time we featured a set of fussy cutting templates to make English Paper Piecing patterns, using the inside of the shape, but if you fancy a shortcut, you can achieve the same effects by downloading our free fussy cutting templates for english paper piecing below to get sewing faster.

Simply download them, print, cut and go! You can use fussy cutting to make all sorts of playful effects on your patchwork. We're especially fond of cat patterns (see below) but this works with almost any patterned fabric you have in your stash.
We can’t wait to see your finished projects, so be sure to share them with us – tag us @lovequiltingmag and use #lovequiltingmag when you post!
