You’ll learn what FPP is, why quilters use it, and how to choose the right tools before moving into guided, step‑by‑step instruction. Cole will walk you through creating a small quilt top, beginning with simple blocks and gradually progressing to more complex designs. By the end, you’ll have the foundational skills needed to begin working with beginning‑to‑intermediate FPP patterns on your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- WHAT WE'LL COVER --\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #5b2d84; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 1.2em;\"\u003eWhat We’ll Cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #302c37;\"\u003eCole will guide you through each stage of the FPP process, building skills block by block while helping you understand how the technique works and how to apply it to future projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"color: #302c37;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding the basics of foundation paper piecing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoosing and using essential FPP tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstructing simple to moderately complex FPP quilt blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- POLICIES --\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #5b2d84; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 1.2em;\"\u003eClass Policies \u0026amp; Helpful Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #302c37;\"\u003eTiming may vary slightly depending on student needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: red; font-style: italic;\"\u003eClass Cancellation Policy: To receive a refund or credit for a class, cancellation must occur 7 days prior to class date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #302c37;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHelp us keep this class on the calendar!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis class needs a minimum of \u003cstrong\u003e5 students\u003c\/strong\u003e to run.
