It is of course another slow sewing project - English paper pieced - a process that continues to hold all of my attention. Hexagons especially are a favorite. I know they're not for everyone, as they can be tedious to piece with lots of stop/start seams. But I just love them, I could sew hexagons all day, every day right now.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiX4fIHxciv6Ter9nWYUQ06CBku51OmjozqknbKaKSm-3v-53skureyDE8ogYZDpCCIiqEFzAL7H-_aBCly5XDD0B8u0aDDNPR7NoD3msj_NA2fYiVI7VVq0bXnpQQRhwNLZBPZK-r2O9KXDB5H_Q-Cbh7x_4qgb4SWH7HyrbW9XkEdquIvCCjb58-F=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiX4fIHxciv6Ter9nWYUQ06CBku51OmjozqknbKaKSm-3v-53skureyDE8ogYZDpCCIiqEFzAL7H-_aBCly5XDD0B8u0aDDNPR7NoD3msj_NA2fYiVI7VVq0bXnpQQRhwNLZBPZK-r2O9KXDB5H_Q-Cbh7x_4qgb4SWH7HyrbW9XkEdquIvCCjb58-F=s16000" title="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" width="485" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiLGZTtiYokmHihTrgRk2bePCIP7sPWqX8yDHGCco3GzUGwvWaFYCbYbfu9aHqmHy83pE5ux9k4ypHdIHncf3mhsoatvqTAtAiELNaHsIuqHyN1OwvtJgdVwsQ51RtmbUPvTwVBBmpxXwFzBdHRg1phmdNogc3ALoh1K3FSYVGWu0lL0xRiW2u5A8So=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiLGZTtiYokmHihTrgRk2bePCIP7sPWqX8yDHGCco3GzUGwvWaFYCbYbfu9aHqmHy83pE5ux9k4ypHdIHncf3mhsoatvqTAtAiELNaHsIuqHyN1OwvtJgdVwsQ51RtmbUPvTwVBBmpxXwFzBdHRg1phmdNogc3ALoh1K3FSYVGWu0lL0xRiW2u5A8So=s16000" title="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" width="485" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEipOCZRH-74uL8aYNocX-sNTZk4W1hfkeWlpG-WkiOeyP7QOKRP4BcIe20bCj1CzJh3Cy1LOrfuxpXTaQ6cLIW3TzKxSFsp6LUMq6U6q5tqfmwVp9t3rIBEe2B2Qk9w6QHuFzzEW7qd3HxpoKMSlOq-VY3AHuRm3vXFf4dK3OaWCMJ-y02WVsf_6gva=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEipOCZRH-74uL8aYNocX-sNTZk4W1hfkeWlpG-WkiOeyP7QOKRP4BcIe20bCj1CzJh3Cy1LOrfuxpXTaQ6cLIW3TzKxSFsp6LUMq6U6q5tqfmwVp9t3rIBEe2B2Qk9w6QHuFzzEW7qd3HxpoKMSlOq-VY3AHuRm3vXFf4dK3OaWCMJ-y02WVsf_6gva=s16000" title="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" width="485" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">This quilt is designed by <a href="https://treehousetextiles.com.au/collections/all-patterns/products/the-treehouse-hexagon-project-pdf-pattern" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Emma from Treehouse Textiles</b></a>, and was designed for the <i>2021 Treehouse Textiles Block of the Month</i> program. Late last year Emma sent me the pattern after I messaged her to see if the pattern would be available after the completion of the Block of the Month program. I started working on this quilt late November 2021 and finished the quilt top on 27 December 2021. Well, December was a month of joyous fabric play and stitching!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjgF0VoyLnJFhhfU2oCEp2kcZ1dCipvV9oIpUCjgGH1taJRKJuvF3WjRxR83XT7Wff2A89PGLw0c4meJM-3Q371yZixdzkHDjo7EmyRXqG8zXC4MXtWmBEFMi88gXAXvylraOk8d3JMHY86vICswTVbEWFzvJ2AN1JNm9Oeu5Spzaoi5Epb003l1g6r=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjgF0VoyLnJFhhfU2oCEp2kcZ1dCipvV9oIpUCjgGH1taJRKJuvF3WjRxR83XT7Wff2A89PGLw0c4meJM-3Q371yZixdzkHDjo7EmyRXqG8zXC4MXtWmBEFMi88gXAXvylraOk8d3JMHY86vICswTVbEWFzvJ2AN1JNm9Oeu5Spzaoi5Epb003l1g6r=s16000" title="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" width="485" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I think what really drew me to this quilt was the unique layout and the mix of low volume - light/white - background prints. It reminded me of my love for low volume prints and quilts, even if that means taking good photos is made so much harder! The light, especially in Summer, seems to bounce off the walls and off the quilt, and I as a novice photographer, I struggle to control it. With such quilts, the best I can do is patiently wait for the perfect day light; preferably a gently overcast day and those have been few and far between this Summer. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiqvTOokGwB2w-yRHGLQnfkYARC9bVWrr5Rj_DDCMEJbL3ujPhCjPdMATzjPQASkabKjcIIhruNSuZwvN9nsSPd-v9dks12Bh3BKqjMCAJQY2x3Vl47dB6AmfdSXuARxLLEJp1gDeWVNCJAlAOgjgfuNChsdyQZFoyX8D3xI0WdGYaHkv3ggXwBdkIZ=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiqvTOokGwB2w-yRHGLQnfkYARC9bVWrr5Rj_DDCMEJbL3ujPhCjPdMATzjPQASkabKjcIIhruNSuZwvN9nsSPd-v9dks12Bh3BKqjMCAJQY2x3Vl47dB6AmfdSXuARxLLEJp1gDeWVNCJAlAOgjgfuNChsdyQZFoyX8D3xI0WdGYaHkv3ggXwBdkIZ=s16000" title="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" width="485" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi8PrQ9DIUGM4iKgMV5CJy2VKdFv7vcTUeqrEm9tvqK3q002-3cxNzP86On-3PNjLH1Dax-uNvEb-GXMDNP31Jimux0t_S0G5UjshcQdU43SOS3h0AlRFlxBNJNsuhYeMN14D-wfESxlCiksJr8cWPG4mMTZX0O2kp1g8SeeQI14XdLwQExoyy5T73_=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi8PrQ9DIUGM4iKgMV5CJy2VKdFv7vcTUeqrEm9tvqK3q002-3cxNzP86On-3PNjLH1Dax-uNvEb-GXMDNP31Jimux0t_S0G5UjshcQdU43SOS3h0AlRFlxBNJNsuhYeMN14D-wfESxlCiksJr8cWPG4mMTZX0O2kp1g8SeeQI14XdLwQExoyy5T73_=s16000" title="The Treehouse Hexagon Quilt Project © Red Pepper Quilts 2022 #hexagonquilt #englishpaperpieced" width="485" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Click on any image for a larger view.</i></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I have finished this quilt by machine quilting edge to edge straight vertical lines, spaced evenly across the quilt, and using the hexagon "corners" as a guide for keeping the lines nice and straight.

I keep coming back to this shape for English paper piecing, and even though the hexagon shape doesn't lend itself to continuous piecing - there's a lot of stop/start sewing - I still love it. Hexies are so versatile, the layout possibilities are endless, and with the right mix of fabric you can have a traditional quilt with a modern feel.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjfz4WMSrXQ-JtUO89PibHAGSpphG-CpveF5qyWp1NEcV8xqjsj9GOXcH_D7AxATjaZm3vKYdklMNOQRjLc4uNoRUET9AXMADbt5L7wv4c2LsisqPH7oK6ZJcf3U4bBLkUW9B0Yg0ogICtpum7Mz1rr2KWnWGWk3744z6yNq3r7M88XiOe2bo3peLKv=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Modern Hexagon Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjfz4WMSrXQ-JtUO89PibHAGSpphG-CpveF5qyWp1NEcV8xqjsj9GOXcH_D7AxATjaZm3vKYdklMNOQRjLc4uNoRUET9AXMADbt5L7wv4c2LsisqPH7oK6ZJcf3U4bBLkUW9B0Yg0ogICtpum7Mz1rr2KWnWGWk3744z6yNq3r7M88XiOe2bo3peLKv=s16000" title="Modern Hexagon Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiu7od1hGERC5S-SiHrMPLJjQyNrc1Un-ctiungAtHkAbUewzOboLBgQqCY577QMjm940uvgwbnVVquOtqFiHIsHVVfHzH6ytnfHrLqrFMDN2944mDWD--6rPF3emQbfhGKo2ekcKPGPjxFvL8sfcWzIs20tyMJpy9Z4_VhVyQ1ujtWXqpbSvSI0eZk=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Modern Hexagon Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiu7od1hGERC5S-SiHrMPLJjQyNrc1Un-ctiungAtHkAbUewzOboLBgQqCY577QMjm940uvgwbnVVquOtqFiHIsHVVfHzH6ytnfHrLqrFMDN2944mDWD--6rPF3emQbfhGKo2ekcKPGPjxFvL8sfcWzIs20tyMJpy9Z4_VhVyQ1ujtWXqpbSvSI0eZk=s16000" title="Modern Hexagon Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The fabrics used for this quilt (other than the background fabric) were once again pulled from my stash and many are from my loved hoarded Japanese fabrics (by Yuwa Fabrics and Kei Fabrics).

I love all sorts of quilts, from modern quilts to art quilts - I can appreciate them all - but traditional scrappy quilts steal my heart every time. I have had this quilt, a classic 6-pointed star quilt, on my quilting buckets lists for quite some time, and am pleased to have now ticked it off.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyDt4BfyPwAza1YfsYNSVPnfkwOm6qrJtDRYcgX-v9KaM0aeFlhfPN1dAEwu1RWmA9pEqm4xxACy9iY2K7yqh9NT3sWM23hckNgEYnZ_nPL5xaqqCrF-RJrALC9uruajxTD-K2mt9LdI0/s800/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+S6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyDt4BfyPwAza1YfsYNSVPnfkwOm6qrJtDRYcgX-v9KaM0aeFlhfPN1dAEwu1RWmA9pEqm4xxACy9iY2K7yqh9NT3sWM23hckNgEYnZ_nPL5xaqqCrF-RJrALC9uruajxTD-K2mt9LdI0/s16000/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+S6.jpg" title="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzstZdaGl2MXfXbfxzu93saWUriwSEVTFjafVmfB4OPnUSENUMTBUC77rFmobCY4XXWt48WilitoQp_SiyJ9e3W7kw-PP4nhsNVCcLqvA8HblJwRfJaDgu2kLcVtNOfn0B0u4O0t5-p84/s800/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+S10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzstZdaGl2MXfXbfxzu93saWUriwSEVTFjafVmfB4OPnUSENUMTBUC77rFmobCY4XXWt48WilitoQp_SiyJ9e3W7kw-PP4nhsNVCcLqvA8HblJwRfJaDgu2kLcVtNOfn0B0u4O0t5-p84/s16000/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+S10.jpg" title="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCEe7rTzDAJZsbG-oXJQQT3QUxSRY1ahXZUvYqpym1nBfAhqqB-BDMM21eTbZj2fHpJ0lp7B01HEnJjRXBt5XDM48zDQwSXGmKJPEpKjMEcaD957ZP3z-O_8lvMdGBLFBBRkTFcqAPmG8/s800/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+S8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCEe7rTzDAJZsbG-oXJQQT3QUxSRY1ahXZUvYqpym1nBfAhqqB-BDMM21eTbZj2fHpJ0lp7B01HEnJjRXBt5XDM48zDQwSXGmKJPEpKjMEcaD957ZP3z-O_8lvMdGBLFBBRkTFcqAPmG8/s16000/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+S8.jpg" title="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This quilt has been English paper pieced and it consists of just one shape: a sixty degree diamond with 2 inch sides. I told you, I have fallen deep into the English paper piecing rabbit hole. I have made numerous paper pieced quilts now, and there are more to come. I find it so relaxing, and the results are effortlessly accurate. I love the whole process; from choosing and cutting fabrics, to basting paper pieces, and long evenings of whip stitching. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKrMAdkF-d6TZHfGjXByrRtMseRxVYz0ufAdEoxL3t7d_a33IWaGU0YGSDzVXW0ONMeE22n2RlCyspo167cHbLTuXWw2IQ2eiphRUDxtidp-wbYi6AnxSyc_v-h26ODLG9lcW0WnP7F98/s800/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKrMAdkF-d6TZHfGjXByrRtMseRxVYz0ufAdEoxL3t7d_a33IWaGU0YGSDzVXW0ONMeE22n2RlCyspo167cHbLTuXWw2IQ2eiphRUDxtidp-wbYi6AnxSyc_v-h26ODLG9lcW0WnP7F98/s16000/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+10.jpg" title="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Other than the background fabric, this quilt was made from stash fabrics.

The background fabric was purchased specifically for this project. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIHO9TlZ7EpuZhTcFHTuXAOiSW9CB8BEYzLDeu35ohAjkC0VBVSkznLQFb-zzl5Ei-ApBwCBeGcRQf9RyfQiXwQrwfXRVnlWHoFNiAORRAbtufvWjiDDfWb1pcK7-LSnZxeTONO0xCDXM/s800/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+SQ1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIHO9TlZ7EpuZhTcFHTuXAOiSW9CB8BEYzLDeu35ohAjkC0VBVSkznLQFb-zzl5Ei-ApBwCBeGcRQf9RyfQiXwQrwfXRVnlWHoFNiAORRAbtufvWjiDDfWb1pcK7-LSnZxeTONO0xCDXM/s16000/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+SQ1.jpg" title="Scrap Buster Quilts All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The quilt has been machine quilted (domestic sewing machine) with edge to edge vertical lines, spaced one inch apart. As I've used a shape with two inch sides, there are lots of stitching guide points to ensure that the quilting lines stay nice and straight. I do also use a quilting guide attached to the walking foot, which also helps to keep the lines parallel.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCuG6vjXEBNdU6dP5AUeKo2EAmslFruvOWSCcYLGXCyzE4ECuCV910jONxj5vj9i81OdfxGzvLaowfBfRheCKEKGuTp-A11npzn3VFbo_ifTsNdXCjKc-tVe3OZ3UrGzoFUTVVAmOCRX4/s800/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCuG6vjXEBNdU6dP5AUeKo2EAmslFruvOWSCcYLGXCyzE4ECuCV910jONxj5vj9i81OdfxGzvLaowfBfRheCKEKGuTp-A11npzn3VFbo_ifTsNdXCjKc-tVe3OZ3UrGzoFUTVVAmOCRX4/s16000/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+4.jpg" title="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVRzkYMZ6IiM0vPiQTHgcDA-7q3B0efMQLG8_dDyij1TGrIpMEo4idwI-iHJRZaHQmbY2kHGdYy5JUJGUGDHjquvZR6ueh4v08U1LDiUt2dN_XjzKK9doch2iq4mpwh-JNLA5kzVE_ARk/s800/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+S4.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVRzkYMZ6IiM0vPiQTHgcDA-7q3B0efMQLG8_dDyij1TGrIpMEo4idwI-iHJRZaHQmbY2kHGdYy5JUJGUGDHjquvZR6ueh4v08U1LDiUt2dN_XjzKK9doch2iq4mpwh-JNLA5kzVE_ARk/s16000/All+the+Stars+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+S4.jpg" title="All the Stars Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Backing fabric: Octopus in Blush - Mendocino by Heather Ross</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">Now for the back of the quilt I have used a rather special fabric which has been languishing in my "quilt back" stash for a while.

The quilt consists of just two shapes - an octagon and a square - and much like a traditional hand pieced Trip Around the World Quilt it was pieced from the center out. I chose to English paper piece my quilt for that process continues to give me so much joy, and I find it a super accurate way to piece. I love the fabric placement for this quilt, and found myself spending a lot of time audition fabric after fabric fabric. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_1LssvbdseZdvDVaigHd94VA9ND9v_QRkvfyucTLPbA3150YbeEMD6tj8txMZyrHWrztWB_gh_GWkYOjm8O91MIG9eAvBeshI_v8cpXG8MmsZ7l3-WQMjwduxRFyg1I6-C5gfhMAsdQU/s800/June+Dyson+Coverlet+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+13.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="June Dyson Coverlet - Handmade Patchwork Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_1LssvbdseZdvDVaigHd94VA9ND9v_QRkvfyucTLPbA3150YbeEMD6tj8txMZyrHWrztWB_gh_GWkYOjm8O91MIG9eAvBeshI_v8cpXG8MmsZ7l3-WQMjwduxRFyg1I6-C5gfhMAsdQU/s16000/June+Dyson+Coverlet+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+13.jpg" title="June Dyson Coverlet - Handmade Patchwork Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">All fabric used are designer quilting cottons, and include prints by popular fabric designers like Heather Bailey and Heather Ross, and by Cotton + Steel and Ruby Star.

I have been busy sewing, but have - hopefully temporarily - lost my blogging momentum. Here in Melbourne we've had a LOT of home time due to local lockdown and covid restrictions, and as such I have had much time to sit, sew, and reflect. Some days and weeks have been more productive than others, but there seems to be a light at the end of a slow long Winter. It's almost Summer and it feels like we're heading into the good (and jolly) season. This week I took some time to photograph <b>four </b>of my recently finished English paper pieced quilts in preparation for blog updates. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxdHJnb8DNpB61ivNxVanP7g_TY8-_h4QcAUWL456S3R36E5cDC_j9u0b3-D-4s6oes28Zpfs8Csmd9M6Y6ApSj8flor1Kn3MOf92P86fBXQeD3yxQi0XwRemqTLX5foQ4w8h2sjcpGOs/s799/Talula+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Talula Quilt ~ English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts November 2021" border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="799" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxdHJnb8DNpB61ivNxVanP7g_TY8-_h4QcAUWL456S3R36E5cDC_j9u0b3-D-4s6oes28Zpfs8Csmd9M6Y6ApSj8flor1Kn3MOf92P86fBXQeD3yxQi0XwRemqTLX5foQ4w8h2sjcpGOs/s16000/Talula+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2.jpg" title="Talula Quilt ~ English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts November 2021" width="485" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqiCD1DxuY2CCAPoBYFDJiv_Vi9uFULfJrgKErp5kAKqadU0OzPwXwBc8MlgO5TiZY3VGydFTCmi5wG4VR5rO3ER_o-PJpRkO2AcGKy-4pmiq7cTsdf77edD5Vf9BZHbEx-w4OBB3b6LE/s799/Talula+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Talula Quilt ~ English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts November 2021" border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="799" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqiCD1DxuY2CCAPoBYFDJiv_Vi9uFULfJrgKErp5kAKqadU0OzPwXwBc8MlgO5TiZY3VGydFTCmi5wG4VR5rO3ER_o-PJpRkO2AcGKy-4pmiq7cTsdf77edD5Vf9BZHbEx-w4OBB3b6LE/s16000/Talula+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+4.jpg" title="Talula Quilt ~ English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts November 2021" width="485" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">This is the first of those four finished quilt. This quilt is called <b>Talula Quilt</b> and has been designed by Australian designer <b>Judy Newman</b>. The acrylic templates are available from <a href="https://www.averyfinehouse.com.au/product-page/talula-template-and-paper-pack" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Judy's website</i></a>, and the design lends itself to both hand piecing and English paper piecing. I chose to English paper piece my quilt. I continue to be well and truly invested in the English paper piecing method of sewing quilt tops together, I thoroughly enjoy this slow sewing process. Something I don't think I ever would have thought that I would say!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPjpnRH1mVzyING5eYd5lF1WYU-SxbUotxlotlX0sA2AuiE1fbMq7RHBQu9coI0dyw8FB9ELuMh9gkVPjGzvm5h4IHj8iN-G0fF_786Eyj7yAq_WCmU8OFfCxhk59yYLAk42bDOEIdtZM/s799/Talula+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+7.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Talula Quilt ~ English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts November 2021" border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="601" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPjpnRH1mVzyING5eYd5lF1WYU-SxbUotxlotlX0sA2AuiE1fbMq7RHBQu9coI0dyw8FB9ELuMh9gkVPjGzvm5h4IHj8iN-G0fF_786Eyj7yAq_WCmU8OFfCxhk59yYLAk42bDOEIdtZM/s16000/Talula+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+7.jpg" title="Talula Quilt ~ English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts November 2021" width="485" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fortunately I do take the occasional progress pic of my work on my phone which then provides me with some indication of when I finished this quilt top and the quilt.

I finished this quilt top back in March of this year. It seems like only yesterday, and also a lifetime ago. Back then we were living in a covid "normal" world where you could leave your home and visit friends and family. Right now, we're back in a covid lockdown situation whilst we wait for the largely unvaccinated population to get vaccinated. There is plenty of time to sew, and I have been taking advantage of that, plus this week I have dusted off my camera and taken photos of several finished quilts and work in progress.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZf9630R_Ab1o-xzoxV-7limjAdCxunsvsv68Zf1eaNAja14OMU-Xd4c1VszqIimC_Xapc6DS9z3txfIn4YNsEB18VYkWG_w4Gvi9DcQyiyJzMcOclvaRBAIIHZKOXoVOqJuHMtxxyABY/s800/Anna+Maria+Horner+Hexagon+Quilt+4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Anna Maria Horner Hexagon Quilt ® Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZf9630R_Ab1o-xzoxV-7limjAdCxunsvsv68Zf1eaNAja14OMU-Xd4c1VszqIimC_Xapc6DS9z3txfIn4YNsEB18VYkWG_w4Gvi9DcQyiyJzMcOclvaRBAIIHZKOXoVOqJuHMtxxyABY/s16000/Anna+Maria+Horner+Hexagon+Quilt+4.jpg" title="Anna Maria Horner Hexagon Quilt ® Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I love all of Anna Maria Horner's fabric collections and recall how excited I was to get my hands on the Chocolate Lollipop collection (my first AMH collection) back in 2008.

This English paper pieced hexagon quilt is very heavily inspired by a vintage quilt. The quilt top was completed over several months in 2020 while we were in lockdown due to the pandemic. For various reasons this was a very difficult few months for me and I was fortunate to be able to lean heavily on my craft. At this time I lacked creative ability and vision, but the simple repetitive task of basting papers and stitching by hand saw me through many long evenings and brought me so comfort. I still love English paper piecing.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWv19Th2-2vOMxBgdV4XuC47UaDgFC4maUX2o_UKzMBZKWAXRbwQ9RzL35_6mFKvA4rJu8y5pAUfz5q6lmFvItTI7YA3cGziqePIFHEo3G6wT0aYS3xSehFPgrSZXgBDp5EA1FS6lJaPM/s800/Vintage+Hexagon+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+S3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Vintage Inspired Hexagon Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWv19Th2-2vOMxBgdV4XuC47UaDgFC4maUX2o_UKzMBZKWAXRbwQ9RzL35_6mFKvA4rJu8y5pAUfz5q6lmFvItTI7YA3cGziqePIFHEo3G6wT0aYS3xSehFPgrSZXgBDp5EA1FS6lJaPM/s16000/Vintage+Hexagon+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+S3.jpg" title="Vintage Inspired Hexagon Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSPqHZ-VAf2MDZK3RdU-Cbw6VOAar5hIoa9XvaTHgeOV562N_Qz-kogxOnVkpo-j1bjNJ7XUATdaCWd6sIOaT_lctC04Yy3hF1G9MY7gau-jvjby6gzckEdTV_zTA4Eujvhfbgk_Q4oSQ/s800/Vintage+Hexagon+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+S1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Vintage Inspired Hexagon Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSPqHZ-VAf2MDZK3RdU-Cbw6VOAar5hIoa9XvaTHgeOV562N_Qz-kogxOnVkpo-j1bjNJ7XUATdaCWd6sIOaT_lctC04Yy3hF1G9MY7gau-jvjby6gzckEdTV_zTA4Eujvhfbgk_Q4oSQ/s16000/Vintage+Hexagon+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+S1.jpg" title="Vintage Inspired Hexagon Quilt - English Paper Pieced © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">To finish the quilt I have quilted it on my domestic sewing machine (with walking foot and quilting guide). I have quilted edge to edge vertical lines through the centre of all hexagons for a clean and simple finish.

This fabric collection was released in 2018 and I purchased yardage of this print for backing fabric.

It is a simple four-patch set in a square and the perfect scrap buster project as you only need small scraps of fabric for each block. Many of the fabric pieces were pulled from my scrap bin which is always rather satisfying, and while piecing the quilt top I ran with the "anything goes" theory; all the colors and prints.

All the individual blocks have been ditch-stitched. Once the horizontal and vertical quilting grid was completed I added diagonal quilting lines, again ditch stitching from edge to edge. Simple and functional lines of stitching rather than decorative quilting, which at the same time gives the quilt a lovely texture and a soft drape, especially with the light weight batting (QuiltLite) that I have used for this quilt </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT28qlwoQoQMTI4_x0uJeQMOBN49WogwkLuLwbmjxNIIqJVMkvNeMNDw_kZoLEM-2RWJMYi9RuU03wGE9zeCddbXKjrs05SMIG3nZ37czXk0k_V1ugpqBZ8ThWuLnwshUWqmqw6YUnyX0/s800/Four+Patch+in+a+Square+Scrap+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2020+7.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A Four-Patch in a Square Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="589" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT28qlwoQoQMTI4_x0uJeQMOBN49WogwkLuLwbmjxNIIqJVMkvNeMNDw_kZoLEM-2RWJMYi9RuU03wGE9zeCddbXKjrs05SMIG3nZ37czXk0k_V1ugpqBZ8ThWuLnwshUWqmqw6YUnyX0/s16000/Four+Patch+in+a+Square+Scrap+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2020+7.jpg" title="A Four-Patch in a Square Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdzoABgLTtIF1RKgaL3ozIYv1juuV1kejbJTj8H8xs5Min5hpGULl8pZ_iv3jWrxwjuUoISjAiVNzkJsefvrbw4oSgGTzfILQL6ZoAonSbHVrGlOUmV5JxBKFBm-D4Z8ZJinmO1qIRS-I/s800/Four+Patch+in+a+Square+Scrap+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+11.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A Four-Patch in a Square Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdzoABgLTtIF1RKgaL3ozIYv1juuV1kejbJTj8H8xs5Min5hpGULl8pZ_iv3jWrxwjuUoISjAiVNzkJsefvrbw4oSgGTzfILQL6ZoAonSbHVrGlOUmV5JxBKFBm-D4Z8ZJinmO1qIRS-I/s16000/Four+Patch+in+a+Square+Scrap+Quilt+%25C2%25A9+Red+Pepper+Quilts+2021+11.jpg" title="A Four-Patch in a Square Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2021" width="485" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">For the back of the quilt I have used my favorite text fabric <i>Newsprint from the Story collection by Carrie Bloomston</i>, and have matched it a black/white stripe binding fabric; my <i>go-to </i>combination that always works well.

It is a simple four-patch set in a square. It is a perfect scrap buster project as you only need small scraps of fabric for each block, and many of the fabric pieces were indeed pulled from my scrap bin. I set myself a small target of making just 10 blocks a day as a starting point, and pushed myself last weekend to complete all blocks - a total of 324 blocks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpH8W6r0SFrAng3cehdUr7nxZ8n0yu12JNJdZVMEm6Q0INBz0KId5qQZtFf_FY0s4lNuzpf_0fRs6pI_ail6dYWNa-VoocWz0LoXfbV5gYKzBxq7Sl9JoItMQ3l77EBJe5qe7r8mL8-Gk/s800/Four+Patch+in+a+Square+Scrap+Quilt+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Four Patch in a Square Scrap Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2020" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpH8W6r0SFrAng3cehdUr7nxZ8n0yu12JNJdZVMEm6Q0INBz0KId5qQZtFf_FY0s4lNuzpf_0fRs6pI_ail6dYWNa-VoocWz0LoXfbV5gYKzBxq7Sl9JoItMQ3l77EBJe5qe7r8mL8-Gk/s16000/Four+Patch+in+a+Square+Scrap+Quilt+1.jpg" title="Four Patch in a Square Scrap Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2020" width="485" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">QUILT DETAILS</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Four-Patch in a Square Scrap Quilt</i></div><div style="text-align: center;">Quilt top measures 63.5 inches x 63.5 inches.</div><div style="text-align: center;">18 rows of 18 blocks ~</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>324 blocks </b>in total ~ 2592 patchwork pieces.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Each finished block measures 3.5" x 3.5".</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijcqJONqFY3WVXqFle4ZZSHNbK7bPsnfU5lR3IQczPn-URkl7k6QGfpJeuGEq3o6FHlTl0TweW_TEwnpZ_4cL4cN50Wl63D9Mo0460gJ8SZmnSAlhTLIDDAB5G3RXsmEk56i510sa__IQ/s800/Four+Patch+in+a+Square+Scrap+Quilt+6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Four Patch in a Square Scrap Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2020" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijcqJONqFY3WVXqFle4ZZSHNbK7bPsnfU5lR3IQczPn-URkl7k6QGfpJeuGEq3o6FHlTl0TweW_TEwnpZ_4cL4cN50Wl63D9Mo0460gJ8SZmnSAlhTLIDDAB5G3RXsmEk56i510sa__IQ/s16000/Four+Patch+in+a+Square+Scrap+Quilt+6.jpg" title="Four Patch in a Square Scrap Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2020" width="485" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">BLOCK TUTORIAL</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I used step 1 to 4 from my <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2013/08/economy-block-quilt-in-progress-tutorial.html" target="_blank"><b>Economy Block Tutorial</b> </a>to make these blocks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">**I have substituted the centre square for a four-patch block by cutting</div><div style="text-align: center;">four 2" squares, sewing the four squares together, then trimming </div><div style="text-align: center;">the four-patch centre block to measure 3" x 3".**</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">You'll find the tutorial here:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2013/08/economy-block-quilt-in-progress-tutorial.html"><b>https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2013/08/economy-block-quilt-in-progress-tutorial.html</b></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">(Step 1 to 4 only for this block)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV5RVnaiZCyEJNtL0cIsPvU-JYEd4o1kI0Z2dbQsysl7x1TmBCeeDaALt8a-EaFMGBYu6W6r1XVd9gVfdGZVPryBp0YkGvxdMo94RIPKmYl_A-4p0o_mW8BTK6isNAqThwsd1aL0gaXHk/s800/Four+Patch+in+a+Square+Scrap+Quilt+5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Four Patch in a Square Scrap Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2020" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV5RVnaiZCyEJNtL0cIsPvU-JYEd4o1kI0Z2dbQsysl7x1TmBCeeDaALt8a-EaFMGBYu6W6r1XVd9gVfdGZVPryBp0YkGvxdMo94RIPKmYl_A-4p0o_mW8BTK6isNAqThwsd1aL0gaXHk/s16000/Four+Patch+in+a+Square+Scrap+Quilt+5.jpg" title="Four Patch in a Square Scrap Quilt © Red Pepper Quilts 2020" width="485" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I find the <i>sew and trim-to-size </i>method easier for small patchwork pieces.

My Pandemic Quilt is finished and I have lots of photos to share with you today. Our Covid situation is improving, and we are keenly anticipating the lifting of some restrictions that has seen us at home for what seems like all year. It does mean I have had lots of time to reflect, ponder, prioritise, and of course sew. There have been some dark days, but we're optimistic, grateful for family, friends, and that Spring is finally here to help lift our spirits.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am pretty happy with how this quilt turned out. I have enjoyed stitching it together by hand (English Paper Piecing), and am proud of having quilted this one myself. I do machine quilt most of my own quilts, but despite having quilted many quilts I do worry with each new quilt that I could mess up the quilting, particularly when the quilt is larger and involves many small patchwork pieces.<br />

The quilt has been quilted with closely spaced straight lines - ¾ of an inch apart. I use the hexagons as a quilting guide and quilt from edge to edge - no lines were marked. For this quilt I have again used QuiltLite as batting. QuiltLite is a light weight woven fabric similar to a loosely woven flannel fabric. I really like the look and feel of a low loft finished quilt, and although this quilt is quilted it feels more like a coverlet.<br />

For the back of the quilt I have used a beautiful floral fabric <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2017/07/floral-retrospective-by-anna-maria-horner.html" target="_blank"><i>Social Climber</i></a> from the <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2017/07/floral-retrospective-by-anna-maria-horner.html" target="_blank"><i>Floral Retrospective collection by Anna Maria Horner</i></a>. I adore this fabric and was pleased to be able to use some of my stashed yardage for the back of this quilt (see below for a photo of the full quilt back - print matching success 👍).<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So ... I started another English paper piecing project a few weeks ago. I love English paper piecing and at this time of uncertainty I have felt the need to sit quietly with my thoughts and stitch like crazy. For a fleeting moment all is right with the world. Despite the prolific handmade works, I have struggled with creativity, and as such this quilt is <i>very much</i> inspired by a quilt that I fell in love with when I saw it at the Tokyo Quilt Festival in 2018: </div>

I couldn't get enough of this quilt when I saw it! I think it was the traditional quilt style - a Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt - made with Japanese fabrics that I so adore. In fact I recognised many of the fabrics, and some fabrics were part of my own stash. I have retained the background fabrics and general layout of the quilt as per the original.<br />

I did bring a few of my own elements into play ~ fussy cutting fabrics, a bright color palette, and instead of adding borders I have made my own "border" fabric by replacing the border fabric with more hexagons in a huge range of red fabrics. Also, once I got started I quickly realized that the hexagon size that I had chosen to work with (¾" hexagons) was significantly larger than that which make up the original quilt.<br />

I cut my fabric hexagons with a template and rotary cutter (instead of cutting fabric squares) for my quilts because I have my <i>own </i>thing about neatness despite not being able to see the back of the quilt once it is quilted. I am a still an avid glue baster and I have not encountered any issues removing the papers. Tedious yes, difficult no. I press my quilts once the papers have been removed with a warm steam iron - lots of steam, and I do not use spray starch.<br />

Months of pandemic craziness and anxiety has been stitched into this quilt. I am in Melbourne and we have been living with Covid restrictions for months, and a harsher lockdown since early August. Many people are facing great difficulties, but we're doing this together to save lives. No one is unaffected by the sacrifices that are being made every day and I have been comforted by being able to focus on my stitching when all else seems to be unravelling. This quilt will be staying with me, as a keepsake of a time that was like no other. And of course, I need to thank <i style="text-align: center;">Chieko Yamaguchi </i><span style="text-align: center;">for the inspiration!</span><br />

Next! Another finished quilt. This quilt top too had been languishing at the back of the cupboard, but not forgotten! It has sat there untouched for <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2019/06/traditional-grandmothers-flower-quilt.html" target="_blank">more than 12 months</a>. It was definitely time to get this one done. This project is a traditional Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt; with a traditional layout, and hexie flowers with a solid yellow center.</div>

The quilt has been quilted with closely spaced straight lines - about 5/8 of an inch apart. I use the hexagons as a quilting guide and quilt from edge to edge. This quilt was bigger (72 inches x 80 inches) than what I usually make my quilts and ultimately quite heavy to work with, despite again using a lightweight batting (QuiltLite). I think that too played a part in the delay in finishing this quilt. I am however very happy with how it turned out.</div>

For the back I have used two pieces of yardage from stash: <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2017/09/sunday-stash-400-bundle-of-this-and-that.html" target="_blank">Jardin De Paris in Peony from the <i>Menagerie collection</i> by Rifle Paper Co for Cotton + Steel (top)</a> and<a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2017/09/sunday-stash-402-mixed-fabric-bundle.html" target="_blank"> Ring o' Roses in Sand from the <i>Playground collection</i> by Amy Sinibaldi for Art Gallery Fabrics</a> (bottom).<br />

<br />
For the binding I have used a wide pink stripe - <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2018/09/sunday-stash-451-more-of-this-and-that.html" target="_blank">this stripe fabric by Moda Fabrics from the <i>Essentially Yours </i>collection (in baby pink).</a><br />

I am not selling my quilts at the moment but will make them available again when domestic and international shipping settles into a reliable new normal. Quilts will then be listed in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/redpepperquilts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Etsy Store</b></a>.</div>

This quilt was particularly challenging to photograph due to size and lack of suitable light during these Winter months. But I am calling it done. I am so looking forward to showing you my next project, another hexie quilt. More of that next week.</div>

Next on my to-do list was to finish this English paper pieced hexagon quilt. I started this quilt top in October 2018 and finished it in December 2018. Since then the quilt top has remained untouched, although not forgotten, as quilting it was put in my mental <i>too hard </i>basket. I am not sure what it was that caused me such anxiety; maybe it was the fact that I had spent so much time fussy cutting the fabrics and English paper piecing the many hexies, or even the mix of fabric bases ~ quilting cotton and cotton/linen blend fabrics. Even though I have never had to unpick my quilting efforts, the worry that I will ruin the quilt with my quilting is still there with every quilt.<br />

Thankfully my concerns were not warranted, and the basting and quilting were completed without a hitch. For this quilt I have again used <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2020/05/hand-pieced-kansas-dugout-quilt.html" target="_blank">QuiltLite </a>as batting (a super light-weight batting, more like a loosely woven flannel fabric).<br />

<br />
The (edge to edge) vertical quilting lines are evenly spaced across the quilt - 7/8" inch apart, which is the same as the sides of the hexagon, thereby using the hexagons as a stitching guide. It is a slow and steady process, although once the foundation lines are in place - starting with every second line - and most basting pins have been removed, I do pick up the pace.<br />

Consistent with my 2020 commitment to using fabric from stash, for the back of the quilt I have used yardage by Cotton + Steel - <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2016/07/printshop-by-alexia-abegg-cotton-steel.html" target="_blank"><i>Starry in Black</i> from the Printshop collection by Alexia Abegg</a> and by <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2015/08/tiger-lily-by-heather-ross-windham-fabrics.html" target="_blank">Heather Ross -<i> Small Roses in Yellow</i> from the Tiger Lily collection.</a> And for the quilt binding I have used a narrow blue/white stripe fabric ...<br />

My<a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2020/06/scrappy-cross-quilt-and-tutorial.html" target="_blank"> <b><i>Scrappy Cross Quilt</i></b></a> is finally finished. It's taken several weeks to get around to stitching down the binding, and longer still to take photos. For the last decade or so I have worked almost exclusively on one project/quilt at a time. It's just how things rolled. But over the last 12 months I've added more and more projects to my steadily growing selection of works in progress, and whilst all that is good and well, I have knuckled down and I am keeping myself occupied by completing those quilt tops, basting, quilting and binding. Done.</div>

<b>Fabrics</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
All fabrics are from stash. Some are relatively new additions, others are my go-to favorite that I have had on hand for some time, pieces of which have made their way into my scrap bins. The many 2" fabric squares were cut from fabric scraps and collected over many months, and I continue to cut more such squares for future scrap busting quilts.</div>

<br />
<b>Finishing</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have finished the quilt by using a light-weight cotton batting called QuiltLite. Quiltlite is a woven cotton fabric similar to a loosely woven flannel fabric; it offers the presence of batting without adding bulk. (<a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2020/05/hand-pieced-kansas-dugout-quilt.html" target="_blank">See a close-up photo of QuiltLite here)</a>.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have machine quilted the quilt by ditch stitching all seam lines; simple and functional lines of stitching rather than decorative quilting, which at the same time gives the quilt a lovely texture and a soft drape, especially so with the light weight batting. For the back of the quilt I have used my favorite text fabric <i>Newsprint from the Story collection by Carrie Bloomston</i>, and have matched it a red/white stripe binding fabric.<br />

Sadly, I am not selling my quilts at the moment. We're in lockdown(!) and are not going anywhere for the time being. On the bright side, I have all the quilting supplies and time. Lots of time... </div>

I will make my quilts available again when domestic and international shipping settles into a reliable new normal. Quilts will then be listed in <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/redpepperquilts" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">my Etsy Store</span></a>.</b></div>

My first machine pieced quilt for the year! It's been so long since I switched on the trusty Juki but having plenty of home time and a significant fabric stash meant there was no excuse for lounging around. Although I did plenty of that too. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scrap quilts are my favorite, especially simple designs pieced from small patches of fabric. I have a shoe box full of 2 inch squares that I add to regularly. Whenever I cut fabric for a quilt and have a small scrap of fabric leftover, I cut that piece into 2 inch squares and add it to the shoe box. And if I am using a fabric that lends itself to fussy cutting, I fussy cut a few additional 2 inch squares and add those as well. I think you'll see quite a few fabrics here that I have used before, and fabrics that you too may have in your stash.<br />

<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">BASIC SCRAPPY CROSS QUILT TUTORIAL</span></b><br />
<br />
This quilt is inspired by a vintage quilt that was more than likely hand pieced. To machine piece this quilt top I broke down the design into simple repeats and a block based layout. This quilt is made from just two blocks that are alternated throughout: <b>Block A</b> on the left and <b>Block B </b>on the right. It doesn't get any easier than that. The blocks are sewn together in horizontal rows of four squares each.</div>

I like to press seams together to one side, rather than open. If you consistently follow the arrows as indicated below all of your seams will nest when you sew the individual blocks AND when you sew the blocks together into a quilt top. So, for row 1 of Block A press seams to the right, for row 2 of block A press seams to the left etc.</div>

The final step to complete the quilt top is to add an additional row of squares along the top edge of the quilt top and the left hand side of the quilt top so that the design is symmetrical - see the rows below as indicated by the arrows (pictured above).</div>

I have loved piecing this quilt top together. It's been a long time since I have enjoyed sitting at the machine and I was very pleased to feel so comfortable and back in the zone. I have missed it.<br />

This is a great "leaders and enders" project if you normally used this technique to start and end your seams. I don't use a scrap of fabric to start and end my sewing, but I can see how that would be of benefit if you're having bird's nest issues, or fabric getting jammed into the bobbin area. I do also like the idea of working on a second project at the same time.<br />

I have made good progress on this quilt. It has been basted and quilted. I have even added the binding, but the hand slip stitching of the binding is yet to be done.<br />

English Paper Piecing (EPP) was what kept me busy not only for the month of March, but also the month of April. I haven't kept a stitching diary and the days, weeks, and quilts have blurred, but my <a href="http://instagram.com/redpepperquilts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram account</a> tells me that the last seam for this quilt top was completed during the first week of May 2020.</div>

I started cutting the hexagons for this quilt in January 2020 but I lost momentum and diverted my energies into <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2020/03/a-hand-pieced-trip-around-world-quilt.html" target="_blank">hand-piecing</a> my <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2020/03/a-hand-pieced-trip-around-world-quilt.html" target="_blank">Trip Around the World Quilt</a>. In April I resumed cutting fabrics and worked on the color palette. Initially it was all blues, then I added splashes of grey/black and green, and eventually I introduced hint of pink. All of the hexagons fabric pieces were cut and basted to paper pieces before I started sewing, and fabric selection includes many quilting cottons, Liberty of London Tana Lawn, and several pieces of linen/cotton blend fabric.<br />

I have again kept the quilting really simple by stitching edge to edge, vertical straight lines across the quilt, spaced 1¼" apart. This worked perfectly for this quilt with lots of stitching guide points to avoid having to mark lines on the quilt top. It is also an easy way to straight-line quilt a hexagon quilt that has been English Paper Pieced without ditch-stitching any of the hand sewn seams; these seam lines may not fare well when the heavier needle of the sewing machine stitches into seam (particularly as seam allowances have been pressed open).<br />

For the back of the quilt I have used a single floral fabric from the <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2017/09/sunday-stash-400-bundle-of-this-and-that.html" target="_blank"><i>Menagerie Collection by Rifle Paper Co. for Cotton + Steel</i> (RJR Fabrics)</a>. The pretty floral design is printed on a soft blue background. This collection was released in 2017 and the yardage, bought for quilt backing fabric, has patiently been waiting in my stash for the right quilt to come along. Using what I have on hand is so satisfying.<br />

For the binding I have used a narrow (1/8" inch) blue/white stripe fabric by Riley Blake Designs - again from stash. And ... I think I may be a hand slip-stitch binding convert. I have avidly<a href="http://www.redpepperquilts.com/2009/11/binding-tutorial.html" target="_blank"> <i>machine stitched the binding</i> on my quilts</a> for the last 10 years, but I can now say that I actually enjoy working these final stitches of the quilt by hand.<br />

English Paper Piecing (EPP) has kept my hands busy and my mind at ease during the long and frightful pandemic days that were the month of March 2020. We will surely never forget these days. I really do enjoy EPP and can happily spend hours basting papers and whip stitching. The quilt top - pictured above - was started and completed during the month of March, then quilted and bound in April.</div>

I spent several days cutting all the fabric pieces, working from my fabric stash with a limited color palette; red, orange, yellow, pink, and later adding a few beige/brown fabrics as well as low volume fabrics (with white/light background) for contrast and interest. Once I had cut all the fabric pieces for my quilt I sat and glue basted the fabrics/papers over several evenings, then got started on whip stitching the pieces together. Three weeks later the quilt top was ready for basting, quilting and binding.<br />

<br />
I have quilted the quilt with edge to edge vertical lines. The quilting lines are spaced 5/8" inch apart which creates a texture that I love, even though it can become rather laborious to straight stitch the many lines for several hours on end. But it is always worth it for the texture and lovely drape of the quilt. For the back of the quilt I have used my favorite and often used newsprint fabric (Newsprint from the Story collection by Carrie Bloomston for Windham Fabrics). And yes, I am getting very near to the end of this stashed yardage!<br />

<br />
For the binding I have again used my signature black/white stripe binding - this one by Ella Blue Fabrics. I have hand slip-stitched the binding rather than machine stitching it, for it felt necessary to spend that extra time with a quilt that has given me countless hours of peaceful slow sewing in the making.<br />

Finally an update! March 2020 came along and <i>everything</i> changed and this new "normal" is difficult to come to terms with for everyone. I know that here in Australia we are in a very fortunate position with relatively few Corona Virus cases, a health care system that has had a chance to prepare, and now a gradual easing out of restrictions. We are so very aware of how lucky we are and I am practising daily to be that<i> glass half full</i> kind of person.</div>

I have been home. My family have been at home! I have worked at home for the last 10 years, so staying home has not been difficult for me. Having to share my "work" space with my family however has proven to be refreshing! It may even be that my sew-jo has returned. I have stitched, especially in the evenings, and have several finished quilts to share with you. Taking photos is still a huge stumbling block in updating my blog, but yesterday was a good photo day.</div>

This is my finished Kansas Dugout Quilt predominantly made with fabrics from my Japanese fabric stash. The fabric pieces for this quilt were cut at the same time as the fabric pieces for my<b> </b><a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2019/11/japanese-stash-buster-quilt.html" target="_blank"><b>Japanese Stash Buster Quilt</b> - way back in November 2019.</a> It's not often that I plan ahead and cut fabric for multiple quilts at the same time. The quilt top was hand pieced (running stitch). The last stitch was completed on Christmas Eve 2019. (The next day I started hand piecing my<b> <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2020/03/a-hand-pieced-trip-around-world-quilt.html" target="_blank">Trip Around the World Quilt</a>)</b>.<br />

This quilt is pieced in blocks as pictured above, then blocks are joined into rows by adding additional joining squares. I pieced 120 such individual blocks, then pieced blocks together into rows, and then joined rows. I have previously <i>machine</i> pieced several <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2014/04/kansas-dugout-quilt-block-tutorial-and-free-templates.html" target="_blank">Kansas Dugout Quilts and have made available a step by step<b> tutorial: here.</b></a> I hand pieced this quilt rather than machine pieced it for no other reason than the joy of stitching with needle in hand. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The quilt has been machine quilted with straight edge to edge lines of stitching. Nothing fancy. And for the back of the quilt I have used a hoarded piece of fabric from the<a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2014/12/lighthearted-kokka-fabrics.html" target="_blank"> <i>Lighhearted collection by Ayumi Mills for Kokka Fabrics</i></a> (2014) - super fancy - and very satisfying to sew from stash.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Batting. I have again used QuiltLite batting to layer this quilt. Quiltlite is a woven cotton fabric similar to a loosely woven flannel fabric as pictured above; it offers the presence of batting without adding bulk or loft. I have had lots of questions about this batting, especially from overseas quilters, and unfortunately I too cannot find it available online other than here in Australia. Most of my local fabric/patchwork stores carry it where it is known as QuiltLite.</div>

When I say things are slowly returning to "normal" I mean super slowly ... like snail paced ... but I am good with it. I am embracing slow and as well as being keen to learn new techniques. This quilt is entirely hand pieced. Hand pieced as in - - - - - running stitch with needle, thimble, and thread.</div>

It turns out that I can do<i> slow, </i>I can hand piece <i>and</i> sew secure seams; the quilt top did not fall apart when I picked it up, nor when I pressed the seams! In addition, I thoroughly enjoyed hand piecing the quilt top. Who knew?<br />

I have always enjoyed choosing what fabric to use and where, and this particular traditional quilt design allows for quite some fun fabric play. Choosing what goes next was intense and I planned ahead maybe 3 to 4 rounds at a time, but even so I often changed my mind as each row (or round/trip of fabric) was added. I have cut several rounds of fabric squares that have remained unused! Maybe they're ready cut for the next Trip Around the World Quilt.</div>

Above is a photo of the back of the quilt top. You can see the pencil marked seams, the running stitch, as well as how the seams were pressed. The stitches are far from perfect - they are not all even, nor consistent length - but they do the job. I did a small back stitch at the start and end of each seam, and added a back stitch every 4 to 5 stitches to secure the stitches/thread.</div>

<b><i>Hand Pieced Traditional Trip Around the World Quilt</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The finished quilt measures 58 inches x 58 inches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1625 squares measuring 2" x 2" (includes seam allowances).<br />
Started: 26 December 2019.<br />
Finished: 22 February 2020.<br />
Hand Pieced.<br />
Start with the center square then add a "trip"<br />
around the centre square (ie add 4 squares).<br />
Continue by adding additional trips - each additional trip requires an<br />
additional four fabric squares.</div>

<b>Fabrics</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All fabrics are from stash. Some are relatively new additions, others are my go-to favorite that I have had on hand for some time. Choosing fabrics from stash became more difficult once a<i> trip</i> around the quilt required more than a fat quarter of fabric. No single<i> trip</i> of fabric required more than a 1/2 yard of fabric.</div>
<br />
<b>Notions / Tools</b><br />
All 2" fabric squares were cut using a rotary cutter and ruler.<br />
After cutting all squares were marked with a ¼ inch seam allowance.<br />
I use a mechanical pencil with a 2B 0.7mm lead<br />
for ease of marking a line on the fabric.<br />

<b>Finishing</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have finished the quilt by using a light weight cotton batting called QuiltLite. Quiltlite is a woven cotton fabric similar to a loosely woven flannel fabric; it offers the presence of batting without adding bulk.</div>

I have then machine quilted the quilt by ditch stitching all seam lines; simple and functional rather than decorative quilting, which at the same time gives the quilt a lovely texture and a soft drape. For the back of the quilt I have used my favorite text fabric <i>Newsprint from the Story collection by Carrie Bloomston,</i> and have matched it with my signature black/white stripe fabric for the binding.</div>

I will continue to update my blog with photos of my quilts as and when I have something to share. I <i>am</i> still sewing - oddly I have a second completed hand-pieced quilt top ready for quilting - but I am finding myself easily distracted and ready to start <i>new</i> projects, rather than complete my quilt tops.<br />
<br />
Thank you for stopping by and scrolling through the photos. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions (<a href="mailto:redpepperquilts@gmail.com"><i><b>redpepperquilts@gmail.com</b></i></a>).<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I made a quilt! My sew-jo had been missing for the last few months, allowing days and weeks to slip by without the one thing that has been such a big part of my life for more than a decade. Fabric play, stitching, patching, quilting have always been a source of pleasure and comfort. This quilt is hopefully a sustained return to that which I once so enjoyed, and an endeavor to stitch my way out of the doldrums.</div>

I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed digging deep into my fabric stash and slowly putting the pieces together. Therapeutic really. The quilt features many, if not most, of my much loved stashed fabrics from Japanese fabric houses including Yuwa Fabrics, Kei Fabrics, and Sevenberry. Many of the prints are designed by popular Japanese quilter and designer Suzuko Koseki, and Atsuko Matsuyama.<br />

Some of these fabrics have been in my stash for a number of years and they are now difficult to find, others are relatively recent additions and can fairly easily be sourced online. Of course, I have been adding to my collection for more than a decade and have bought small pieces whenever the opportunity arose. I have also had the great pleasure of going the <b><a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2018/02/sunday-stash-422-assorted-fabrics-from-tokyo-quilt-festival.html" target="_blank">Tokyo Quilt Festival</a></b> in 2018 where I was able to greatly enhance my Japanese fabric collection!<br />

I have quilted the quilt with edge to edge vertical lines. The quilting lines are spaced just a ½ inch apart to create a texture that I absolutely love, even though it can become rather laborious to straight stitch the many lines for several hours on end. It <i>is </i>worth it!<br />

For the back of the quilt I have combined my favorite and often used newsprint fabric (<i>Newsprint from the Story collection by Carrie Bloomston for Windham Fabrics</i>), and a beautiful daisy print by <i>Suzuko Koseki for Yuwa Fabrics</i>. I really wanted to use the floral print for the quilt back but only had two yards on hand, and as this quilt was supposed to be a stash buster I thought it only right to use the floral print and combine it with my often used - for it versatile as it goes with everything! - newsprint fabric. The top half of the quilt back is floral, and the bottom half of the quilt back is newsprint.<br />

For the binding I have again stuck with my signature black/white stripe binding, in part because I am very fond of this finish, but also because I do not have on hand all that many pieces of Japanese fabrics in quantities suitable for binding (at least a ½ yard), and the few prints that I do have larger quantities of were not suitable.<br />

I am so pleased to have finished my <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2019/07/a-scrappy-hexagon-quilt-part-1.html" target="_blank">Scrappy Hexagon Quilt</a>. One inch hexagons are the best! They are just the right size to comfortably hold together in your hand while stitching, and the scrappy patchwork fabric created by the use of ALL the fabrics is rather delicious. I do so love a scrappy quilt! I estimate to have used 250+ different fabrics and many hexagon pieces have been fussy cut to feature a fabric design element. There's a lot to see! The perfect I-Spy Quilt.</div>

I basted the quilt sandwich late July and immediately got started with the quilting. I have kept the quilting really simple by stitching vertical straight lines across the quilt, spaced 1" apart. Lots of straight line quilting! This works perfectly for this quilt with lots of stitching guide points to avoid having to mark lines on the quilt top. It also is the simplest way to straight-line quilt a hexagon quilt that has been English Paper Pieced without ditch-stitching any of the hand sewn seams; these seam lines may not fare well when the heavier needle of the sewing machine stitches into it (particularly as seam allowances have been pressed open).</div>

For the back of the quilt I have used a single text fabric from the <i>Vintage Made Modern Collection by Amy Barickman</i> for RJR Fabrics. The text design is printed on a soft yellow background. This collection was released in 2015 and the yardage, bought for quilt backing fabric, has patiently been waiting in my stash for the right quilt to come along.</div>

I had no business starting <i>another</i> English Paper Piecing (EPP) project but I did it anyway. Having a slow sewing project on the go continues to give me so much pleasure, and while I have yet to baste <i>and</i> quilt several of my already completed EPP quilt tops, this one quietly slipped in without any guilt or regret, and has now been added to my pile of finished quilt tops.</div>

A traditional 1 inch Hexagon Scrap Quilt has been on my quilty bucket list for some time. I just love the look of scrappy patchwork and by keeping the hexagon pieces relatively small I get to use many of my favorite stash fabrics. As you can see, many of the fabrics have been fussy cut to feature a design element (it seems I have many different fabrics with strawberries!). If you've been quilting - and collating a fabric stash for a while - I think you will recognise many of the prints that I have used. Some fabrics have been around for quite some time, and others are fairly recent additions to my stash.<br />

Making this quilt top has been a labor of love! Just like any hand pieced quilt, the process is very time consuming. I spent a lot of time cutting fabric pieces. Most fabrics have been repeated up to four times, and I estimate to have used up to 300 different fabrics. I really do enjoy pulling fabric from stash and can happily spend days cutting hexagons, watching the pile of hexies grow. All fabrics were cut by using a rotary cutter and an acrylic hexagon template.<br />

I continue to glue baste my papers/fabrics for English Paper Piecing and have no trouble keeping the papers in place for as long as is required, nor do I have difficulty removing the papers. Most of the hexagon papers used for this quilt were previously used to piece my <b><i><a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2018/09/a-scrappy-grandmothers-flower-garden-quilt.html" target="_blank">Scrappy Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt</a>.</i></b><br />

<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Whenever possible I like to ensure that my fabric pieces are cut and sewn together on grain. This should result in a nice and flat completed quilt top with the least stretch and fabric movement, which will make basting and quilting easier.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Removing papers as you go makes for much more comfortable piecing. I started removing papers when sewing together blocks into vertical rows.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Once the quilt top was completed I decided to add one extra row of hexagons (36 hexies) to add an additional 2 inches to the length of the quilt. </li>
</ul>

At last, another blog update! I know some of you have been wondering if I am still stitching. I am doing the best I can right now and stitching (in particular English Paper Piecing) is still a daily pastime, but I am very much enjoying the relaxed timeline. Having taken a step back I can see more clearly that the pressure (self-imposed!) to update my blog regularly was starting to impact the joy of making and sharing. I am slowly getting back on track - I sure spend a lot of time thinking about the quilts I want to make - but make no promises. The focus for now is on enjoying the process.</div>

I had no business starting another English Paper Pieced (EPP) quilt for I have yet to baste and quilt my <i><a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2018/12/b-is-for-blues-hexagon-quilt-part-2.html" target="_blank">B is for Blues Hexagon Quilt</a>,</i> but I so enjoy the slow sewing process that starting another EPP quilt was inevitable. This project is a traditional Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt; with a traditional layout, solid center flowers with a solid yellow center. (This is my second Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt - <a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2018/09/a-scrappy-grandmothers-flower-garden-quilt.html" target="_blank">see details of my<i> Scrappy Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt</i> <b>here </b>- it includes instructions on how to prepare the "Flower Units" for easy row sewing</a>).<br />

The fabrics used for this quilt are all from stash; some fabrics have been part of my stash for some time, some are more recent additions. My fabric selection for this quilt includes medium scale graphic prints (like stripes and gingham) which create striking movement, as well as medium and small scale floral prints, and stash basics (dots). Numerous fabric designs have been fussy cut to feature a design element or to create a graphic element. All fabrics used are quilting cottons, and all solid fabrics are Robert Kaufman Kona Cottons.<br />

I continue to glue baste my papers/fabrics for English Paper Piecing and have no trouble keeping the papers in place for as long as is required, nor do I have difficulty removing the papers. Many of the hexagon papers used for this quilt were previously used to piece my<a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2018/10/liberty-of-london-hexagon-quilt-english-paper-pieced.html" target="_blank"> <b><i>Liberty of London Hexagon Quilt</i></b>.</a> All the photos shown here are of the quilt top <i>after</i> the papers have been removed, except for along the very edges of the quilt top where papers were left in so that I had the option of making the quilt top bigger should I wish to do so (this now seems unlikely😄).<br />

My <i><a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2019/03/stretched-hexies-quilt-english-paper-pieced.html" target="_blank">Stretched Hexies Quilt</a></i> is finally finished. I may have spent more time thinking about basting and quilting this quilt than the actual doing .... I am such a procrastinator! Of course, the task was not nearly as ominous as I had imagined it to be and I am really very pleased with how the finished quilt looks. Quilting my own hand pieced quilt tops still raises the level of quilting anxiety but I am always happy to embrace the challenge even if it takes that bit longer to get started on the basting and then the quilting. I have lots of photos to share so please do bear with me!<br />

The quilt has been quilted with straight vertical lines only. I love the simplicity of straight line quilting, both the actual task and the look (and feel) of the finished quilt that closely spaced lines offers! The lines are spaced ½" apart and run from top to bottom edge of the quilt. I have used a quilting guide attached to the walking foot to assist with keeping my lines nice and straight (by running the guide along previous quilting lines). It took many hours of slow stitching, multiple bobbin changes, and lots of quilt wrangling to complete the quilting but it was well worth the effort</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When quilting I start at one side of the quilt and work my way to the center of the quilt. I then turn the quilt around and work my way from the center of the quilt to the edge of the quilt. I also start by quilting the lines more widely spaced apart - like 1 inch apart - and then go back and fill in the lines in between.</div>

For the back of the quilt I have used a single floral and strawberry design cotton fabric from the <i><a href="https://www.redpepperquilts.com/2016/04/strawberry-biscuit-by-elea-lutz.html" target="_blank">Strawberry Biscuit collection by Elea Lutz for Penny Rose Fabrics</a></i>. I bought enough yardage of this print for a quilt back and it has been patiently waiting for just the right quilt top ... and this was it.<br />
