Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) is a great way to get very accurate piecing and sharp points. Learn how to do this technique and about great tools to use to make it a success.
We'll be making hexagon blocks from my series of three easy FPP hexagon quilt block patterns. Only one pattern is needed for the class so you get to pick your favorite! If you can stitch on a line, you can make these blocks. They may look complex but they make learning and mastering FPP a breeze. Each pattern has 18 different block layouts but the possibilities are endless! These blocks look great on jackets, bags, wall hangings, and table runners, and make stunning quilts! Bonus: We will be covering tricks to make Y seams easy! PATTERN OPTIONS:
You may use any of the following 3 patterns: - Striped Hexies (red & white left of center picured above) - Nuts About You (brown in center pictured above) - Equilateral Gone Wild (brown right of center pictured above) Pattern purchase is required. You may purchase printed patterns from Jen in class for $20.00; these patterns include foundation paper already printed with the pattern. You may also purchase her patterns on her website: Snapdragon Quilting as follows: $20 for a printed pattern with the paper pieces $12 for the digital pattern; you will need to make your own foundation patterns |
The Library has a small kitchen wth refrigerator. You are welcome to bring food to keep in the refrigerator for lunch. There may be a short lunch break; some places nearby to get a quick lunch.
