Tula lovers, unite! These funky Foundation Paper Pieced blocks by Lynne Goldsworthy are a great way to use up your tiniest Tula Pink fabric scraps. We wouldn’t want those precious prints to go to waste, now, would we? You can contrast small-scale prints against solids to allow your Tula fabrics to shine, or stick to specific colours to achieve a striking two-tone effect. The world is your oyster! With these delicate paper pieced makes, you’ll be able to build your skills and practise your tiny piecing to perfection. Read on to explore these two show-stopping FPP block designs. Plus, you can use the free FPP templates that go with this project to help make sewing small Half-square Triangles easy work!
