Foundation Paper Piecing -Holiday Snow Globes

So if you have ever wanted to take the plunge and try foundation paper-piecing, this is the one for you!   The blocks in this cheerful holiday table runner are made with Foundation paper piecing skills and you can set the table runner either vertically or horizontally.  The finished runner measures 15x47.   These are all straight seams, some bias edges, and you need to sew an accurate 1/4" seam.   The face can be embroidered.
