If you’re working on the Technicolor Tulips mini quilt pattern, I put together a special bonus video filled with extra tips, tricks, and behind-the-scenes details to help you feel more confident as you sew.
This vibrant tulip design is made using Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP), and in the video I walk through everything from fabric selection and template prep to precise piecing, quilting ideas, and organization tips along the way. Whether you’re brand new to FPP or have been paper piecing for years, I packed this video with lots of practical advice that will help your project come together more smoothly.
A few things I cover in the video:
- Choosing fabrics and building a bold rainbow palette
- How I organize fabrics and paper templates
- Printing templates correctly at 100% scale
- Tips for assembling larger paper piecing templates
- How I avoid dark fabric “ghosting” behind light fabrics
- Positioning pinning for accurate seam matching
- Quilting ideas for both detailed and minimalist finishes

The Technicolor Tulips pattern was designed to be flexible and fun to personalize. This oversized tulip block makes a beautiful mini quilt, wall hanging, or pillow and you can even combine it with other quilt blocks for a larger project. Use your favorite fabric bundle or make it scrappy with what you have in your fabric stash.
