Oh, so many choices! I love the English paper piecing too, and currently have a project of diamonds that I am working, but I also agree with traditional hand piecing too. I also totally agree that if you are going to do shapes and hand sew them together to draw the lines on the back just to keep your seam line more accurate. I love handwork and just find it so relaxing. So many choices. Oh! and don't forget applique! and redwork! See, too many choices maybe - lol
