Foundation Paper Piecing Techniques Class



In this class we'll learn a couple techniques for making Foundation Paper Pieced blocks (FPP).  This is a great introduction to paper piecing that gives you a taste of the process and lots of tips and tricks for creating with this precision technique.  The goal of this class is to learn the technique.  A finished piece does not have to be the result. BUT, you can turn the blocks into a wall hanging like our sample, or use the blocks for other things such as a pouch, patch or pocket on a tote bag or garment, pot holder, or placemats!  Let the blocks inspire you when they're finished.
