I Learned to Foundation Piece Today!
#30
I got the pattern at my LQS where I took the course. It was the "assigned" pattern.
It was remarkably easy to do I found once I got the knack of it. The only tricky part the six of us in the course found was to remember the direction to place the fabric because you are kind of working backward.
Thing is though, I took that picture by putting the top down on my deck. The boards you can see are regular (although rounded) 2x4s so you can see that the wreath is relatively small. Not being terribly experienced myself, I never would have been able to get it so accurate with such small pieces with my other way of piecing.
Now I just have to get the other three completed and I am going to give them to my MIL for Christmas.

This is the pattern we used and I used Carol Doaks (I think it is) foundation paper. Also, in case it matters, I am not "related" to any of this so get nothing financially from any of it. This is just what I used for anyone who is interested.
