Welcome to Block 4 in the Botanical Beauties 2022 Block of the Month (and Quilt Sew Along).

If you haven’t signed up yet for the Botanical Beauties BOM, it’s not too late to make this Foundation Paper Pieced (FPP) project! Jump in at any time and join the quilt making fun. Sign up here and you’ll immediately receive all of the patterns released to date.

Let’s get started!

In this video I’m giving tips and demonstrations for how to achieve flatter seams when foundation paper piecing using a seam roller, hot iron, wool pressing mat, and tailor’s clapper. These tips are applicable to all Botanical Beauties Blocks as well as all of your FPP paper piecing projects. Be sure to check it out!

Here are some helpful tips as you prepare to piece your fourth block:

Products mentioned in the video:
