I’m actually working on a hand-pieced block that is testing my spatial abilities. So I decided to set it aside, and choose a simpler block that I could Foundation Paper Piece.
Successes:
- This is ONE piece of paper, with triangles added to a central strip. VERY ease to piece.
- I was able to use the rotary cutting instructions to cut the fabric, then the paper to do the actual sewing.
Challenges:
- Despite pre-cutting, I seem to be a little short on the border. I will have to be careful when I add sashing to ensure that my blocks finish consistently at 4.5″
Here’s the quilt so far:
