This is a bright and humorous collection of foundation paper pieced
quilt blocks and projects for happy quilts. The motifs include a wide
range of popular designs-everything from avocados to rainbows-so you can
mix and match to make perfect personalised quilts and quilted
projects.
Foundation paper piecing is the perfect way to get perfectly sharp
points and create fun quilt motifs. By using the foundation paper
piecing (FPP) technique you can create intricate designs which would be
impossible with traditional piecing. FPP is done using a sewing machine
so even though the blocks are detailed the process is quite quick so you
can make cute quilts and quilted projects in quick time. It is also the
perfect way to use up your stash of quilting and sewing scraps and have
lots of fun selecting the perfect scrap to suit your blocks.
This collection features 100 fun quilt blocks from some of the best
known names in patchwork and quilting. All the blocks are made using
foundation paper piecing and all the templates are featured at full size
with the seam allowance added so you can trace them off and get piecing
straight away.
There's a comprehensive section showing you how to do FPP with
step-by-step instructions and photos so even if you've never done FPP
before you can get started.
The motifs featured include everything from food and drink (strawberry
milkshake and pizza anyone?), to designs for outdoor explorers (a canoe
and campfire set the scene for adventure lovers); pets and wild animals
(think racoons to kittens) and everything in between. There is a block
to suit everyone so you can make the perfect themed quilt for your
nearest and dearest based on the things that they love the most.
As well as instructions and patterns for the 100 FPP blocks there are
also instructions for 10 projects made using the blocks including a
retro apron; a rainbow pouch bag; a tote with 1950s sunglasses motif;
the perfect table runner and a cute, kitten pillow. So why not choose
your favourite motifs and get started making perfect quilted gifts for
your friends and family!
