After seeing this site I did a little investigation. I have been working on a wall hanging and the hexagons are small and it said to fold and stitch each hex 1/4" around and then stitch them together. Now I see where you can just put 2 together and stitch your 1/4" seam. I think I'm confused. Is it just that there are 2 different ways to do the same process?

Great project with impressive organization, also! <wave>

I think the true English paper piecing is where you stitch each hexigon around with 1/4", then put two together and slip stitch by hand the two pieces, adding one by one as you go. I think that is how I did mine years ago. Stitching two pieces together with 1/4" seam seems like just ordinary piecing. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

The first one is fairly simple - - mostly written instruction.
The second address has a multipaged, picture by picture instruction.
Enjoy <wave>

I did the craftstylish piece a few years ago. Maybe one is English PP and the other just PP. Thanks for the help. :D

English paper piecing is a joy - Thanks

my daughter did a grandmother's flower garden on her machine, but the hexagons were like three inches on a side, maybe? The biggest thing for handsewing is to have a form to follow for getting the edges turned down, perhaps. Somewhere <g> I have some of the plastic ones, but I save plastic containers, so those can be utilized, too ... just haven't found a need to try it yet! LOL <wave>

cool organization

I don't know if I am more impressed with the fabric or the organization!!!!!!!

Good start keep up the good work
