My friends are moving back to Manitoba after 7 years in Toronto, so I wanted to give them a gift that would remind them of their time here. I looked and looked for some kind of Toronto themed sewing pattern but couldn't find anything (or anything that I liked). So I tried my hand at foundation pattern piecing (FPP).

I watched a couple YouTube videos on FPP, found a line drawing of the CN tower online, traced it, and broke the photo up into chunks that had all straight lines. I grabbed scrap fabrics from my last few quilts, and...here it is!

I have to say, FPP is pretty amazing. Where regularly quilting relies on perfect cutting, FPP somehow gives you these tiny details with minimal effort - just sew on the lines and trim away the excess fabric!

I thought I might make a video on how I made this, but for now a photo of the finished product will do. We'll miss you, Jess & Simon!!
