Easter FPP

One of the designers I follow advertised a new (new to me?) very cute Easter foundation paper pieced pattern, and since I always wait until the last minute to make holiday decorations (see: last Christmas’ snow globe quilt that was hung on Christmas Eve without binding…) I jumped right in. *

It’s been awhile since I did FPP, so I watched a how to video to get back up to speed. Did it stop me from making a bunch of rookie mistakes? Oh, heck no. But maybe it helped prevent a few? That’s the story I’m going with…

I wanted the egg colors to be in a specific order, and since FPP is done backwards - and my brain is tired - I carefully wrote on the pattern which color went where. 

Then promptly ignored it (you saw that coming, right?) and sewed them according to the not-backwards picture. 

Closer to correct - the greens are reversed but I can live with that

Fortunately I caught it after only 3 pieces. I’d have been really annoyed if I’d gotten all the way done.

Pretty cute, huh? 

* We’re leaving Saturday to go visit the CO branch, returning the day before Easter, so this is right on schedule for ‘last minute.’
