We made it to the last week of the #fallingforfpp sew along on Instagram. I’ve had such a fun time seeing everyone’s blocks and hearing from quilters who have tried foundation paper piecing for the first time!

For the final week of September, I have one more free FPP block to share: Pumpkin Patch! This block is a little more advanced than the previous free patterns I’ve shared, and hopefully it will help you stretch your FPP skills a bit.

The Pumpkin Patch Foundation Paper Piecing Pattern comes with three size options: 3″ x 3″, 6″ x 6″, and 9″ x 9″. The photos here show the 6″ block pattern, but I’m hoping someone will try out the itty-bitty 3″ block pattern and share a photo with me. 🙂

If you’re participating in the sew along on Instagram, remember to use the hashtag #fallingforfpp. We still have some pretty awesome prizes up for grabs, so I’m looking forward to seeing all of the FPP blocks that you make! 

Happy sewing!

It’s week three in the #fallingforfpp sew along over on Instagram and I have another free foundation paper piecing pattern for you! The Mod Log Cabin quilt block pattern is beginner friendly and was designed with fussy cutting in mind–the on-point square in the middle is perfect for a focal print that you want to be the highlight of the block.

The Mod Log Cabin FPP pattern has two size options: 4″ x 4″ and 6″ x 6″. For my block, I used the 6″ block size and Dorothy’s Journey fabric line by Jill Howarth for Riley Blake Designs. I just love all the cute Wizard of Oz characters and the fussy cutting potential!

Have you tried foundation paper piecing (FPP) before? It’s such a fun method for piecing blocks that results in super accurate seams (and we all love accurate seams, right?). I also love that you can easily get angles and shapes that would be hard with traditional piecing. I absolutely love doing FPP projects and want to share that love with all of you!

  

Over on Instagram, I’m hosting a foundation paper piecing sew along throughout the month of September. This is the most low-key sew along ever! There’s not a specific pattern you need to choose– just pick any FPP pattern that you love. Throughout September, post in-progress photos, shots of your quilt block, or share a finished project that uses FPP and use the hashtag #fallingforfpp. There are (of course) prizes each week, so you’ll definitely want to be following along and start posting.

I’ll also be sharing videos with tips and tricks on instagram plus a new (and free) FPP quilt block once a week right here on my blog. In fact, you’ll find the first free FPP block pattern right here! Click on the link to download the Simple Heart PDF pattern. It’s a super easy, beginner friendly block to get you started.
