Sew Easy Spooky Shapes Featuring Blossom...
These #RBDNotSoBasic Sew Easy Spooky Shapes are a follow up to the Sew Easy Flags I shared in July.
These adorable quilt blocks feature foundation paper piecing and they only take a couple of hours to make! That’s perfect, especially if you’re looking for a sew easy Halloween decoration or gift.
The blocks feature Riley Blake Designs basics including Blossom and Confetti Cottons. I used Blossom Orange, Holly, Wisteria, and Tone on Tone Black.
For this specific project, I decided to paint the embroidery hoops with Lori Holt’s Farm Girl Chalky Chicks paint in Old Flower Pot and Tractor Tire. Isn’t that fun? It gives the embroidery hoops a little extra something-something.
Here’s what you’ll need to make your own:
Sew Easy Spooky Shapes Foundation Paper Piece Templates (click on the button below)
Fabric
Felt
(2) 5’’ Embroidery Hoops
Paint & Painting Supplies
Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Fabric Safe Pen or Pencil
Ribbon
Fake Fall Leaves or Other Fall Decor
Miscellaneous Sewing Supplies
Here’s the simple instructions for making your own:
Separate and paint the embroidery hoops. Let dry.
Trace the embroidery hoop on a piece of felt.
Following the line, cut out the felt circle and set aside.
Print out the Sew Easy Spooky Shapes FPP templates. Remember to print at 100%.
Make the Sew Easy Spook Shapes blocks.
Remove the paper from the back of the block.
Center and insert the block into the embroidery hoop. Tighten.
Trim the excess fabric from the back of the embroidery hoop.
With the glue gun, apply the felt circle on the back of the embroidery hoop.
Using ribbon and fake fall leaves to decorate to the top of the embroidery hoop.
To piece the blocks, I used Aurifil 50wt. #2021 and my Baby Lock Journey. I always use a size 90/14 needle and a 1.4 stitch length for FPP. A smaller stitch length makes removing the paper so much easier.
New to foundation paper piecing or FPP? No worries!
My friend, Kristina from Center Street Quilts has an awesome Instagram step-by-step video series for FPP. You can also find several great tutorials on YouTube, including one I created for Fat Quarter Shop.
I hope you enjoyed this Sew Easy project!
