I recently became more interested in foundation paper piecing (FPP) and designing more patterns that require FPP. Edena’s Star Block is my first pattern that includes a section that requires FPP and hopefully I will be adding more in the near future!
I still consider myself a novice at FPP, but want to make sure you have resources if you have FPP questions! Below are blog posts and videos that I have referenced may times when learning FPP, so hopefully they can help you as well. Also, since everyone learns differently, I have broken it out into two sections: Blog posts with pictures and videos.
This resource guide page will be updated periodically to include additional links to help you.
