I love paper piecing although I do as much machine piecing as anything else.

Hi Pat,

I also love to paper-piece and I'm always looking for ways to paper-piece my blocks. Nothing beats the accuracy. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Even though my favorite method is machine piecing, I always have a hand piecing project going as well.

Loretta,

Me too! I always keep a handpiecing project going so that I'll have a portable project for trips, etc. There is something so peaceful about handpiecing. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I love to do the English paper piecing, I agree Kim there's nothing to beat the accuracy of any kind of paper piecing but the mosaic work which can be done with the English piecing is quite beautiful.

Hi Gillian,

I've got an English paper-piecing project that I've been working on for several years now. A Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt that will be my "masterpiece" when it is finally finished. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I absolutely love the technique, although I am quite slow at it.

I have made several English paper pieced quilts one of which is still a work in progress (a complex long diamond pattern in the Carpenter's Wheel style), but the best one I have completed is the one I exhibited as part of the London Quilter's exhibition in the Great British Quilt Show I think about 1998 or 99. It's getting remarkably dirty with use, need to take it to the laundrette:) my washing machine isn't big enough and it takes a week to dry.

You can see it on this page - http://www.craftsnlace.net/homework/psp5/week2.html - I apologise in advance for all the graphics, this page was part of a graphics course I was doing a year ago and it's quite a hefty download for people on dialup. The quilt is down near the bottom of the page. It contains 4,500 one inch hexagons (they are one inch on each side), and covers a high single bed pillows and all right to the floor - and it's hand quilted too, took eight years to make. Quite a magnum opus but worth it.
