Beautiful! I'm also working on one, and like you, I'm not doing EPP. It's just too much additional work IMO

It is the little black triangles that were so hard to wrap around a piece of paper. My fingers just couldn't do it neatly. I did try heavy paper but it seemed like it was too flimsy. I haven't pressed anything yet. I don't want to stretch the material. I will press when I am done with it all and it will flatten out. It is hand pieced. I may be showing my ignorance here but I thought EPP was hand pieced. We'll see how it turns out. It is like working a puzzle.

Looks like a lot of work but it is turning out so pretty.

VERY nice job! I, also am working on this quilt...I love seeing all the different fabrics and looks they have- and all lovely.
I am using the paper and having no trouble with it. I am only on my 3rd rosette, but will post progress soon.
Keep up the good work- it has really taught me that I enjoy hand sewing... it's not the curse we all equate it to!

yes, english paper piecing is mostly done as hand projects but I've seen a number of quilters attach them together by machine with a tiny zigzag

There was one woman on the La Pass FB page that was talking about doing that, epp w/ machine zig zag and clear thread. I haven't seen any updates lately so don't know how it worked out for her.

On my epp, I use glue stick by sewline to "baste". Easier and faster- for me. I have also found that by sewing the pieces together side by side rather than face to face..no thread shows at all...and finally found silk thread to be my salvation....all others I've tried have shredded along the way as I was working......and no my start length is about 20"... Not much longer...like in anything else, we find our best way and run with it. Still waiting for a sale price on her book, ha!ha!
