I am not a monogamous English paper peicer. I try to stay true to one project at a time, and I simply cannot. After spending a long time on one project, I find my eyes wander to something else. I cannot help it.
EPP has become a significant part of my stay calm routine. Getting cozy on the couch with some epp and an audio book is my new favorite thing. Here’s the list
La Passacaglia
If ever there was a bucket list quilt, this baby is it! I procrastinated starting this one for ages because doing the whole quilt felt overwhelming, In 2020, I decided that I will start making centers and then go from there. I have been making slow and steady progress on this quilt. I’m I have less than 10 rosettes left to make, then it’s a few filler blocks, and assembly. It’s funny how small the work “assembly” is given that it represents hours and hours of work.
Hide and Seek BOM
I signed up for this block of month (BOM) from Pink Door Fabric in July 2024 and it will go until the end of 2025. It’s another Millefiori quilt by Willyne Hammerstein from her fifth book. I discovered the joy of an EPP BOM at the start of 2024. It’s nice to have project that requires minimum decision and can be as simple or as complicated as I want it to be. It gives me the soothing space of EPP without having to make to many decisions about fabric and placement.
The Butterfly Effect Quilt
I am not sure if this quilt and I are friends. The pieces are so tiny. I have all the sections put together, but I’m focusing my attention on my La Pass and Hide and Seek.
Tula Sunshine
In 2023, I used this quilt at a Quilt Your Life Project. I “earned” each seam I sewed by either engaging in movement that day and/or avoiding eating food with added sugar. I got stuck on what to do with the borders.
Pie Hexies
I saw another Instagrammer post a few pictures of these and decided I must try it. I’m finding these things so much fun that I keep making a few every time I need something fast and pretty. I’ve had these blocks for years, and I’m still not certain what I’m doing with them. I did use a handful of them in my Tumbling Blocks Quilt and then shared a few with my buddy Helga for hers.
Patterns Waiting in the Wings
I bought my friend Kitty’s (@nightquilter) pollinate quilt. I want to do it in Alison Glass fabric and I do not have enough to pull it off. I still have the Tula Nova, another Millefiori Quit, and a Brimfield Awakening pattern that will require me to learn to applique. I am afraid of applique. Also, my friend Helga sent me honeycombs that I could use to make a Lucy Boston quilt. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
