    Default Millefiori/La Passacalia English Paper Piecing

    Is anyone working on La Passacaglia - It would be fun to see who has started this English paper piecing project. I just ordered the book and look forward to working on this as a journey for 2015. Would love to see some finished pieces, I will post when I have one completed.

    I just finished the border on mine last week, but it will be awhile before it gets to the top of the to-be-quilted pile.
    Did you get the original size papers (star points are 3/4") or the new supersized papers?

    It is a fun project, enjoy

    I printed them from the Facebook Group Millefiori/La Passacalia English Paper Piecing and enlarged them 139% so they are a tad larger. I just started prepping yesterday and glued my first center today. I have a ways to go. Would love to see your quilt.

    Thanks, sure you can, it is just one short straight seam at a time.

    Hi kassundra, what size are your hexies? They are beautiful. Saw them when you started, and I thought they were smaller than they look in these current views.

    I really like your description of one straight line at a time.

    I am going to have to get into this project, too.
    peace
