Go to the top of this page, click on "Learn".  It will take you to the Connecting Threads web site.  Scroll down until you see "English Paper Piecing Tutorial Video".  Click and Good Luck.  Hope this helps.

This is one of the few piecing techniques I've never done.  So it's time for me to learn something new, and I can take it in the care on long trips and I do love that. Where do I start?

Not a problem Janis, I just thought that Donna might like to see the pics without searching through all the postings. I knew it wasn't too far back so I went looking.  Glad I was helpful.

That's a great idea.  I do have a few binders at home with patterns in them for different projects but I never thought of putting the project themselves in there.  Thanks for sharing that!  It would certainly help me keep my thing in order in stead of putting stuff in plastic bags - like WMT bags - all the time!

Carol, your binder idea is brilliant and I have mine right by my chair.  I wish I had better memory or I'd posted your name for the credit originally although I did say a very smart lady on this thread. I just couldn't remember your name.

Thanks for passing on the idea,  Janis B.

Picture of binder idea is on page 5 near the bottom. Or you can go to my photo page and find several.

Thank you for the compliment, Donna.  many of the blocks were made for Sylvia's Bridal Sampler. I am only about half-way through them, and really need to get back to making them so I can get that quilt finished.

Donna, hexis are a great for fill in work.  I keep the ones I'm working on organized in a ring binder.  I very smart lady on this thread gave that tip and I love it.  I went to Target and bought the plastic envelopes dividers (not sure that is the right term) for my binder and keep the templates in one, basted hexis in another, finished flowers in another.  I don't have that many finished flowers right now but when I do I'll move the finished ones to a box. But I can keep it all together. 

I can't remember who gave that suggestion but they had a picture of their binder.  It's brilliant.

Cat lady - I love your cat quilt - and all of those other blocks - were they made for one quilt?
