EPP - My Foray into English Paper Piecing

Posted on April 5, 2009 at 1:36pm 2 Comments 0 Favorites

I've recently joined the ranks of EPP quilters. I joined the online group and I've started making my first EPP'ed quilt. It will be a miniature, because I think it's better to start small with a new method.

In truth, that is not how I started with quilting. Jumped into the deep end of pool doing a king (maybe large queen) sized quilt with over 1200 pieces in it, then hand quilting the entire quilt.

Anyway, I'm working on a mini dresden plate and will work on it mostly… Continue

I never had any trouble with the quilt sandwich shifting because I basted in about 3 or 4 inch squares. The last one i did I started at the border and went straight up. It wa about a ninety inch quilt.

Have fun with my little idea and thanks for taking the time to write about it.

By the way, I see mighty tiny piecing in all your quilts. Beautiful, especially the little charmer in picture 26.

You've made some beautiful quilts - I especially like your Courthouse steps because it reminds me of a Civil-War era quilt I had the priviledge in studying while I was in grad school. (We had to do a paper about an artifact from our historical society - and I managed to find a quilt!)

I live in south east Arkansas, about 30 miles south of Little Rock. We have only lived here a year and a half. I used to live in Missouri about 35 miles west of St Louis off interstate 70. We moved to Arkansas to be closer to our children who live in Texas. Thanks for the nice comments. I love your quilt photos also. Your color choices are nice. As I get more and more into quilting, I am finding I like the simple tradional patterns more and more, and right now I am going to do some minis.

Glad to meet another hand quilter. Enjoyed looking at your quilts and love the way you have some of them displayed outdoors. The little guy sure is a cutie - reminds me of our latest grandson Finnegan. Welcome to ghe group. This is a great place to meet so many folks who share our common love of quilting. Joyce
