    I have not done EPP before. I have worked with hexi's but the GFG I made was a king size quilt and it took months to make then quilt by hand. My daughter begged me for it and I gave in to her and now she has it. I just watched a video on EPP and it looks like it would make this process much easier. So maybe I will try one again. Of course I still have my templates and I could buy the papers online and then start cutting the great number of scraps here to make the flowers (using hexi's). There is always one more traditional quilt to be made again. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Wow - that is stunning - and my favorite colors too. I've never done EPP before either. Not sure I could handle all that hand piecing. If you wanted to quit you could make a pillow of it! LOL

    That looks difficult. Congrats on competing the first rosette.

    I’m not good at fussy cutting either (I am too impatient and I don’t like wasting the fabric) so I will have minimal in this quilt I think.

    Fabric choices are so tough! I have started my 2nd rosette but not convinced I like the fabrics but will wait and see.

    Very beautiful start. Your fabrics are so gorgeous. It does take a long time to EPP but well worth it to see the wonderful finish

    I’ve started Rosette 2. The first picture shows what so have sewn so far. The second pic shows what I have basted ready for the next round. I intend the make the final round more pinks again. I don’t think I like it as much as the first rosette but I need to remember that it will all be part of one busy quilt and that I will like some more than others.
