Winter Wonderland, Day 1

Teena and I (and my friend Karen) signed up for an FPP-along (foundation paper piecing) - 9 days, 9 designers, 9 different quilt blocks - and it’s all free! Teena has never FPP’d before so we had a practice session before Thanksgiving (here). Good thing we did - today’s first block would probably be rated ‘advanced beginner’. 

But it’s so cute! Teena and I FaceTimed while we sewed, getting about halfway done before time ran out (aka it was dinner time and the boys were hungry).

Fussy cutting success! It’s tricky with FPP.

I went back to finish, and was ready to sew the final seam when I noticed ⬇️. Polygons do not make cute snow globes.

That’s better.

Each day’s project is a surprise - 

 Using my hoarded, treasured Downtown Abbey fabric for inside the snow globe

we know which blocks we’ll be making but not what order they’ll be in. 

 The not-so-neat back

Looking forward to tomorrow!
