Ready to finally try Foundation Paper Piecing - and actually understand it?
This beginner-friendly workshop is designed to take you from zero FPP knowledge to finished 12" X 12" blocks that you can proudly turn into a generous lap quilt!
No intimidation. No confusion. Just clear instruction, hands-on learning, and that “I can’t believe I made this!” feeling.
Choose your project:
🍍Pineapple Block
🪵 Cabin Block
🏛️Courthouse Steps Block
✨ One pad of foundation paper from It's Sew Emma is included with the class, 42 sheets in total. That's enough to make a 72" X 84" quilt! These sizes of foundation paper pads are Jelly Roll friendly and 5'' squares are also required if choosing the Pineapple block.
Just pick the design you would like upon registration. The blocks that you do not finish in class can be confidently completed at home. ☺️
