This is a bright and humorous collection of foundation paper pieced quilt blocks and projects for happy quilts. The motifs include a wide range of popular designs?everything from avocados to rainbows?so you can mix and match to make perfect personalised quilts and quilted projects. Foundation paper piecing is the perfect way to get perfectly sharp points and create fun quilt motifs. By using the foundation paper piecing (FPP) technique you can create quite intricate designs which would be impossible with traditional piecing. FPP is done using a sewing machine so even though the blocks are detailed the process is quite quick meaning that you can make cute quilts and quilted projects in quick time. It is also the perfect way to use up your stash of quilting and sewing scraps: you can use up small pieces of your favourite fabric scraps on these blocks. This collection features 100 fun quilt blocks from some of the best known names in patchwork and quilting. All the blocks are made using foundation paper piecing and all the templates are featured at full size with the seam allowance added so you can trace them off and get piecing straight away. There's a comprehensive section showing you how to do FPP with step-by-step instructions and photos so even if you've never done FPP before you can get started. The motifs featured include everything from food and drink (strawberry milkshake and pizza anyone?), to designs for outdoor explorers (a canoe and campfire set the scene); pets and wild animals (think racoons to kittens) and everything in between. This means that you can create the perfect quilt or quilted project for your nearest and dearest based on the things that they love the most. The motifs include a wide range of popular designs ? everything from avocados to rainbows - so you can mix and match to make perfect personalised quilts and quilted projects. As well as instructions and patterns for the 100 FPP blocks there are also instructions for 10 projects made using the blocks including a retro apron; a rainbow pouch bag; a tote with 1950s sunglasses motif; the perfect table runner and a cute, kitten pillow.
