I'm doing a 1/2" hexie GFG for a friend's doll house. So the quilt won't be too big. I'm having trouble getting the freezer paper hexies to stick. But the whole project fits easily into a quart freezer bag.

I have taken two different classes on EPP and just love it! I am presently making 1" hexi flowers like GFG, but I'm not sure what the next step is after making the flowers. Granted, I only have about 12 made so far, but I wonder if I should make them all at once (how many?) or join as I go along, spreading out the colors. Do you always have a plan or work from a pattern ? Just love the hand work and the joy of making those darling little things! What do you do?

Not sure how I got hooked but am thinking it was from pinterest. Sooo I started making a 2" 60degree diamond star quilt. The stars are mostly sweet calicoes or calico-like fabrics with white-on-white diamonds all around each star. I'm needing 240ish for a queen size bed and I now have 50ish sewn together. I don't get to sew on it as much as I'd like---have severe allergies to nickel. At times, my fingers look like ground hamburger literally. Anyone knows what needle I can use? Also, am wondering how to finish edge of my quilt--suggestions? To me, It is so peaceful to sit and EPP at night when things are stressful! I LOVE IT!! Also am thinking of starting GFG using Fig Tree Quilts fabric in plum, green, and apricot.

I had that problem too---join as I go along or make all of them. In the end, ADD took over and I sew them together for a while, then stop and sew some together---over and over it's a cycle!

I try to work a row a day, but as you all know, as it gets bigger, so do the rows. today i made about 30 units. My units are 3 pcs. of 3/4" hexes, one on top of two this time round. now just to add the row on. that can take upwards of 2 hrs. alot of work. i'm keeping this one. My first as 3/4" gfg and my cat has it. That seemed to have taken forever. my pc is now about 36 x 36. getting there slowly. really s-l-o-w-l-y. It's relaxing and a good use of 'down time'.

I did a tumbling block quilt about 12 yrs ago using epp. I loved it. Baby qiult for niece at the time. I hand quilt so get my handwork fix that way normally but thoroughly enjoy epp projects.
