Piece the Fronts

Trace the mitten pattern twice onto muslin, reversing one shape. Do not cut out. Using the pattern as a guide, sew blue fleece and velour fabrics to the muslin mittens using the paper-piecing quilting method, except instead of using paper, sew the fleece and velour scraps directly to the lines marked on the right side of the muslin.
