Little Sewing Going On...

There hasn't been a whole lot of sewing going on around her lately, but I finished a couple more blocks from my Wonky Rainbow Starflower quilt.

I pieced all of the triangles for three more blocks, but they are all still attached to the sewing machine waiting to have their seams pressed.

I've also worked a bit on my EPP Star quilt, but haven't made too much progress.

EPP Star Quilt Progress

Progress as of June 3rd.

After going back forth about how I wanted to do my layout I have decided on doing these seven star groupings using one star of each color. I plan on "squaring" this off by adding grey diamonds and triangles around the edge to make a hexagon. Then piece the hexies together. I haven't totally planned it out, but I know I will have to make some half hexies for it to all come together.

I just started piecing the stars together by adding the background pieces.  I just love it when a project starts to come together and is no longer a bunch of pieces!

English Paper Piecing: Star Quilt

My first thought on English Paper Piecing (EPP):  "These ladies are crazy!  Why would you want to hand piece when you could just use a sewing machine!" 

But then I kept seeing all of the beautiful WIP and finished quilts and I started falling for them.  After reading this post I started considering the task and then one day when I was browsing through 60° Diamond EPP Quilt-Along Filckr Pool and came across a link for a photo of this quilt.  It was love at first site!  I am partial to yellow and stars so maybe that was the reason for the immediate infatuation, but non the less, I love the this quilt! 

At that point I know I had to at least try it, so I did.

It was much easier than I thought it would be and came together quite quickly.  I was hooked!  So I continued on...

And this is my progress so far...

EPP Star Quilt started- May 25th, 2011.

Estimated finish- ??? (hopefully before I die...)
