Foundation paper piecing makes for extremely accurate piecing and perfect points, but one of its most exciting uses is the creation of blocks using irregularly shaped components. Blocks and quilts with a wide range of irregular shapes may look complex, but they are easier than they seem once you have experience with a few techniques and tips. In this workshop, students will choose one of three animal patterns to sew in order to practice these techniques. Sewing machines generously provided by event sponsors!
