i'm doing mine EPP. i don't do many big quilts anymore. I have so many and so little space. so, i decided if i was going to make a big quilt, it had to be EPP. The first 2 quilts i entered into a show, i won 2nd and 3rd best place in the show. the 2nd one was 6 pointed stars in aquas. held together with white diamonds, they were all 60 degree 2" diamonds.
the second which was the 3rd place overall, was 1" hexies,put together in a dog bone shape. i floated them on a white background. I appliqued a puppy on the bottom right side, and it took me 6 hrs to attach emb. floss fur in 6 different shades of browns.

I love EPP. it's very accurate, and if you want to hand quilt, it's perfect for you.

PS. If you're not sure if EPP is for you. call English Paper Piecing or e mail them, and they will send you out a small kit to try your hand at it. it has the papers and fabrics.
