Foundation Paper Pieced Economy Block
Have you been intrigued by foundation paper piecing? Join us for an introduction to paper piecing with the Economy Block!
In this class, we'll make 6" economy blocks with a fussy cut center. Bring your scraps and some coordinating fat quarters and we'll turn them into dynamic blocks with precise points that will have you wanting to sew up a quilt in no time!
This is such a great block for playing with fabric, or making a scrappy quilt, and the centers are perfect for featuring fussy-cut prints. It’s a really simple, no-waste block (hence the Economy name).
