FreeFall Quilt Along (better late than never)

How did I ever miss  the FreeFall Quilt Along? ?  hosted by Sandra Walker at MMM quilts.   But, lucky viewers, all the tutorials and fabric requirements and steps 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are still available.

Happily surfing the web brought me right on top of how to paper piece without sewing through the paper!  From this tutorial, I realized their was something good about to start....now remember, Sandra started all this in February 28, 1017 and it's now mid-November so we can go from start to finish of this quilt along at record speed. 

• Here's how to paper piece without sewing through the paper
• And the fabric requirement and tips for your FFQ:
• Step 1: Cutting
• Step 2:  Construction of leaves that float on shadow leaf
• Step 3:  Construction of leaves that float on background and shadow leaf points
• Step 4:  Construction of half and half leaves
• Happy Day:  Quilt top assembly  Yes, be sure to read Sandra's advise (for free) about how to avoid meeting seams that make too much bulk to easily quilt.

The fabric possibilities are endless....check out these little beauties made by participants in the quilt along.

And another favorite by Laura on Instagram:  l'm coveting that background fabric but especially love the purple leaves....who knew falling leaves could make this grand a statement.
