English Paper Piecing ( EEP )

I have lots of fabrics scraps... and don't know what I'm gonna do with them. I sort them out to make a pile of larger, medium and small fabrics. I threw all little fabrics that can't be used. Actually if I paint with fabric scraps, then nothing is wasted.

English paper piecing seems the right answer to do the projects. There are so many pattern to make a quilt with this methods...
and I need to pick them... I would like to make Star quilt from diamond shapes... and Flower from hexagon shapes...

So.. I draw pattern. multiply and cut them one by one.
and start to sew.. by hand.
First, making this kind of quilt seems like forever...
but when your mood is on the air... nothing can stop you. and when you start seeing Star and Flower shape.. it just gives you even more energy to sew some more... :)

My mom learned about this method and showed me that she made a table runner and she just finished her quilt top, while my project hasn't shown any progression. Felt like we're on a race.. then I need to finish one quick project.
This is what mom's made :



And  I know what I'm gonna make ! 
A skirt for my little one. Bravo.

Happy to use this patchwork applique on the skirt.
and my little one loves it. :)



I sure will make some more patchwork and make a bigger project.



Happy Sewing,
'Na
