Those are beautiful. I haven't attempted epp yet but so many women at our guilds do. they make it look so easy not sure if my eyes would handle it. This week at one of them we are having a demo by one of our members so I am looking forward to it.

thanks all- i am starting to get a little faster i think- actually finished 2 today & cut out two more so will try to get them done tomorrow- if i do i will take a pic of the next 5 (finished one last night watching the home-run derby) i think i will try to take pics of 4 or 5 at a time instead of individuals- takes too long & takes up too much space to post them one at a time
so, anyhow- more coming- i'm only about 17 behind now...of course she may post 2 or 3 more by the time i get home tomorrow.... oh well, i'm not going to worry about it- i'm just going to keep (stitching away) :D

Where did you learn to put them together like that? I love your hexagons outlined with diamonds and triangles.

i am following patterns from a workshop called - Dear me, I'm going to pieces---from Pattern Penache- a free (benifit) when you subscribe to the on line quilting magazine called 'Quilt Patterns Magazine' there are quite a few group activities
on page 2 of this topic the designer of the workshop (chimed in) & commented about mine- she also posted a link to the magazine.
it is great fun to see all the different shapes she comes up with to challenge us with these- i love English Paper Piecing and this is taking it to a whole new level for me.
