So I’m on a roll with border blocks, FPP and the colour red. I suppose I will want to make a few of the solid triangles as well. I don’t want to exhaust my supply of this red print before I set aside some to help with balance. These solid triangles will sit between these lovely border blocks around the perimeter.
Successes:
- Again, I love the precision of the Foundation Paper Piecing
- I am using a lot of tiny scraps, and keeping my background consistent
Challenges:
- I don’t know how to predict how much fabric I might use. So I’m researching, and may consider pre-cutting oversized blocks prior to doing the FPP. There are great videos by Canary Quilts, that helped me get started with EQ8 and the Dear Jane quilt. She measures each area, and pre-cuts, so I might give that a go next time.
Here’s the quilt with eight blocks so far:
