Getting addicted to EPP

After making two small bags using the English Paper piecing method, I wanted to do more. So I decided to start a much larger project – a quilt. I am punching card stock with my handy Fiskers hexagon punch. This gives me 1″ hexies.  IMG_2625P1030129I found this pen in the paper craft section.  I put a dab of glue on the hexie affix about four or five at a time to fabric. Then I do a rough cut out and baste around.P1020960

We leave on vacation, of course I will be taking my knitting, but EPP is also a wonderful project for the road. I am very prepared.P1030132This box is stuffed full, I haven’t stopped making hexies though – have I mentioned how addictive this is?

P1030090My work table is messy, it’s how I work. P1030088I had to start the actual quilt, no grandmothers flower garden.  I’m hoping to have areas of color merge into one another.  There really is no overarching plan.P1030135I have no idea how big this will be, this is an open ended project. I fear that with all my fabrics it will be quite large.P1030136I have been removing the paper once the hexie is surrounded. Main reason for this is because I will be traveling with this.  Paper adds bulk and weight – something I can do without.

This will be a project you will see often as it grows.
