In this class, students will enhance their skills and achieve proficiency in Foundation Paper Piecing by constructing a custom QuiltCon 2025 Landscape Pattern from the Capturing Memories Quilt Pattern Series called "Road Trip." With a selection of vivid and modern colors, this class project lays the groundwork for a comprehensive and enriching learning experience. The project, measures 27" x 27", incorporates no more than 15 fabric colors, is meticulously designed for the purpose of helping students to delve into the core aspects of FPP, including navigating complex angles, achieving precise point alignment, fabric placement and positioning, understanding seam line orientation, ensuring shape continuity, and executing accurate piecing techniques. These skills will empower students to confidently assemble both small and large, irregularly shaped fabric pieces, equipping them with the ability to undertake any FPP project with ease and assurance.
