A New EPP Project

English Paper Piecing

I was digging through some of my scrap bins the other day and decided to liberate some of them.  I realized that I had some really good red scraps and that they needed to be used and not just stored away.

So I started a new English Paper Piecing (EPP) project to work on while I sit at karate classes, wait in Dr offices, and watch tv in the evenings.

My last project was these pink hexdens.  The hexdens have been stitched to a background square and the blocks are just needing to be sewn together into a quilt top.  For this next project I chose to make pentarings.  It's a ring shape made up of 10 pentagons.

These are the pentagon pieces I chose to use (I purchased them here).

What do you think?  Cute, huh?  I love the little pair of scissors.

I made a tester one, and decided that I love it.  I've now ordered more papers and cut my favorite red scraps into 2.75" squares - ready for basting!
