Comment by Rosarita(Vilma) 3 hours ago: DJ is correct.........

Comment by Cat Lady--MO on Friday: Yes, DJ is correct. EPP or English Paper Piecing is the method used to make the Grandmother's Flower Garden. Normally the hexagon shape is used for this pattern.

Comment by DJ Street on Friday: I think that 'hexie' refers to the shape of the pieces and EPP refers to the method of putting them together.

Comment by Donna J. McKinney on Friday: Ok I hate to sound so stupid but what is the difference in EPP and hexies? I am making a king GFF and I thought I was making it with hexies and the EPP ? I don't know what term to use?

Comment by Rosarita(Vilma) on Friday: Sobana, just do a single one to finish your GFG. There are more quilting than the days of our lives.....:)

Comment by Sobana Sundar on Friday: Will go over and see Michelle. I must admit that Cathedral Windows do tempt me. But until I finish my GFG I can't start another hand work. More motivation to finish this. Should I scrap the idea of a Kingsize quilt in favour of a single one I wonder!

Comment by donna rosengarten on Thursday: Hey Michelle-It sounds like your Butter Bean Quilting is doing okay. That's wonderful! and keep up the kickboxing classes. We all need more activity!

Comment by Michelle K on Thursday: The Cathedral I am working on now is the one someone had already pieced the sections of muslin by machine and already cut all the batik "windows" I am on my last section of windows before I can piece the sections together and fill those windows. There is just not enough time in the day is there? Since opening a long arm business " Butter Bean Quilting" I have really had no time for what I want to do..:-( but Business is picking up and I am now behind so that is good for the business, well not the behind part but the part where I have lots to do. I do take my hand projects with me to my sons jujitsu classes and work on them when I myself am not in a kickboxing class. Got to stay active you know. I will post pics when I am done for sure. I already have some pics of what I have done on my page if you want to see how far I have gotten. :-) Tootles and happy quilting.

Comment by ruth ragland on March 1, 2014 at 5:44pm: I am also doing a cathedral windows quilt. It is taking me a few years to do it. and it is still not done. I get so discourged I put it away.. Then in a few weeks I drag it out again and hope to finish it. Will I ever finish it? It is suppose to be a gift to my daughter..

Comment by Rosarita(Vilma) on February 27, 2014 at 3:27pm: Michelle, I would love to see your Cathedral Window quilt. ..so finish it and post. .. LOL
