Discover the secrets of using a single ombré fabric to create a stunning, multi-toned effect! Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) takes the guesswork out of sewing unusual angles and wedge combinations. Instead of juggling awkward templates, you just follow a numbered sequence for perfect results every time. This beginner-friendly class will open the doors to a whole new world of quilting precision. In this class, you will master the numbered sewing sequence step by step, learn how to position and stitch fabric onto a paper foundation, and discover how to efficiently cut your fabric. We will also explore how to use gradient fabrics to create beautiful depth and color shifts in your work. Together, we will complete one full Spool Block in class, leaving you with a solid foundation and the confidence to finish your own nine-spool quilt at home at your own pace

 

Material fee includes: Pattern Fabric for one complete practice block plus 9 cuts of Gelato ombré fabric.
