Beautiful! I am an EPPer from way back. In fact that is how I learned/started my "quilting journey", then of course I stumbled upon the American way and now I enjoy both forms of the craft. You know EPP is addictive....once you get going, you won't stop and you will get very antsy if you end up in a waiting room or holed up in an airport without your "hexies".:)

Curious to know if the subscription fee will cover or if I'd need to order things to get started, weighing options before I jump in head first!

the (templates) are available from the website- there is also graph paper for the shapes you can print off- & use to make your shapes any size you need....you can purchase the pieces from PaperPieces.com- (i already had most of the ones i needed- and ordered a couple additional- because to me it's worth it) but you are not required to order them- you can print off the sheets & make your own if you want to take the time- and i think alot of the people participating are doing just that....it would be great for some of you to join in- then we could see different color combo's along with mine :)

I just want to buy a ton of differnt pieces til I know how addicting it is! Have plenty of 1in. hexies, it's the other shapes I'm not sure about :shock:

here are another 5 blocks finished---i am so very far behind on these- (there is no true timeline- but seems like 3 more blocks are posted in the time it takes me to make one- i'm going to be making these for a long time!) i have 20 blocks done so far-19 i havent' done yet- and more are presented almost daily.
anyhow- i'm looking forward to figuring out a plan for these when i get them all done :)the program goes til November---it will be quite an assortment :)

These are just beautiful. How funny, I was just thinking about this today at work and was thinking that I would like to try something like that only I had forgotten what the name of the pattern was. thanks so much for showing us what you have done.
