Great job, Rita! You may also want to add that site to our links and resourses page. I am sure there are other quilters who would find that site helpful. Thanks :thumbup:

:roll: Rita, thanks for sending that link. IT WAS really great info. Really appreciate it. This is a great message board.

I have done English paper piecing and it is fun. Easy take along projects to work on any where.

This quilt was English paper pieced.

I've never done English PP, but here's a site that has all different patterns for hexagons, plus all different shapes.

This site is to graph paper that has hexagons to draft a top with:

I've done quite a bit of EPP over the years, a double bed quilt in largish hexes, a quillow with much smaller ones (half inch on each side), wall hanging from 1in squares. I currently have an ongoing postage stamp quilt I am doing the same way. My papers are cut straight from graph paper, each square is 2cm (I was going to make them 1in, but couldn't buy any graph paper that size when I went looking, so metric they had to be).

With this quilt, I make up blocks of 16 squares. I wante the whole quilt to have a bright look, so chose the patches accordingly, but to keep some kind of continuity, in each group of 16 squares, I put one white square, and one black. I did an awful lot of it on train journeys across Ireland to Dublin when I was attending a lot of outpatient appts. at two different hospitals there. One, quite small zip lock bag would hold lots of cut papers and fabric squares, a needle, thread and scissors.

After a while, I added a bit of design in the form of blue squares forming a rectangle. Some people don't seem to be able to see it (something to do with eyesight, I think).

My eyesite is not so good, but I saw the blue right off! I do a lot of EPP with hex's but hadn't thought to do it with squares. Lovely quilt. So bright and happy looking. Makes me smile. Thanks for the square idea.

that is soo pretty I want to try it, maybe today looks like something you could hang on the wall and be proud.

I can see it, it is beautiful. I think I will try a postage stamp quilt in EPP I think that would be easier than sew by machine. I don't like to sew little pieces of fabric with machine. They always get crocked.
