Hello again.
I've been plugging away at my blocks...
A little info on EPP (English Paper Piecing) :
Basically, I print out the block, cut out individual pieces and baste the fabric to these pieces.
Then they are whip-stitched together.

I use regular Guttermann thread - and a size 12 between needle (I need the smallest
needle so I only pick up a few threads on the whip stitching)
Traditionally, EPP is used on convex shapes with straight edges (no indents)
like hexagons and diamonds. This is the first time I've tried with curves.
The concave curves need to be clipped - but it has worked so far...

The blocks are 6cm - so I think the centre blocks will finish about 36 inches.

I believe that the original b-13 was made with a single fussy-cut square -
so I decided to re-design it since every EPP needs some hexagons
