Description: Ready to try a technique that delivers sharp points, perfect angles, and stunning precision every time? Foundation paper piecing (FPP) makes it easy to create blocks that would be tricky (or nearly impossible!) using traditional methods, opening a new door to quilt design.
In this fun and skill-building class, you'll create striking hexagon blocks while I guide you step-by-step through the FPP process. You’ll learn how to confidently use the tools that make it all easier—and more enjoyable! Choose your favorite design from three bold, modern pattern options: Striped Hexis, Equilateral Gone Awry, or Nuts About You.
This class is perfect for adventurous quilters of all levels, no prior FPP experience needed! Whether you're brand new to paper piecing or just looking to sharpen your skills, you'll walk away with a powerful new technique and a fresh creative spark.
Bonus: A special presentation on how to remix and reimagine these blocks for endless design possibilities!
