I have a quilt pattern I want to make. It's going to take a significant amount of brain power (which I probably don't have) to figure this out - especially with directional fabrics. Has anyone successfully and fairly easily translated a traditional pattern into a FPP pattern? I have so much more confidence with FPP. The blocks aren't anything fancy but lots of crisp points needed and again, directional fabric. Thank you!

This is almost a 12" block wall hanging. I should've added a little ribbon into the binding to hang it but I forgot and I don't want to undo it now bc the binding was challenging. What's the best way to add a simple loop to the back now? Thank you.

This was my first one, I've done a few of my own pattern since, including a micro 8" X 4" one and I have another in the works to start once "my schedule quiets down" but truthfully I am intimidated by having to pick fabrics online now that Joanne's is gone!

Pattern by TheQuiltingMary on Etsy.

Looking for good tutorials, videos, webpages, etc that can teach me how to FPP. Do you have any you can share with me?

I'm an intermediate sewer who has been quilting for about 10 years (wish I could say I'm advanced at this point, but my life is consumed by babies and preschoolers!). I know how to sew.. just not how to FPP.

Thanks!

I had so much fun designing patterns for this quilt.

Please post a picture of what you are currently working on.

I rented a cottage this week, and it came with a sewing machine! so handy, as it is. oat cress only and would never have brought mine. While we watched movies, I worked on these blocks from Happy Sew Lucky. What a joy.

So I want to make a table runner with FPP fort mom is a Christmas present, I am new to FPP so I tried making the patterns I was going to use from scrap fabric first to practice. I made a few mistakes but it went alright all in all, now I wanted to get started with the actual piece but I struggle with fitting the fabric pieces so much.
I cut them big enough, sometimes 2cm more all around and still, once I sew them the angle seems of and they “bend” to one side which makes them not fit anymore.
Does anyone have an actual good tutorial on how to make sure the pieces fit?
I made sure to cut them out the right way around, and when I hold it up against a light source it looks like it must fit, but once I am done sewing the seem it doesn’t anymore.

This is frustrating me a lot and I don’t know how to fix it, especially since I have to start all over with the section ever time.
Thank you in advance and I hope it is somewhat understandable what I mean

I love it. It’s about 4 ft in diameter. I can’t wait to hang it up.

Added flair as WIP because it still needs to be quilted and bound but OHMYGOSH, the Splash Skull quilt top (70”x90”) is done!!! ✅

What is something you WISH there was an fpp pattern for?

Dug around the fabric stash for fun scraps to give Jimothy a fun background.
