I am slowly making progress on my star and hexagon English Paper Pieced (EPP) quilt, whilst working on other projects too.
Here is a count of what I have to date using 2" diamonds and hexagons:
15 star and diamond slabs, that's 8 stars and 16 diamonds per slab or total of 120 stars and 240 hexagons
5 half star and diamond slabs (I created these to add a bit more width to the quilt), that's 4 stars and 8 diamonds per slab or 20 stars and 40 hexagons
10 white side border pieces each consisting of 8 hexagons and 2 diamonds, a total of 80 hexagons and 20 diamonds
7 top/bottom border pieces each consisting of 8 hexagons and 3 diamonds, totaling 56 hexagons and 21 diamonds to date
Were you playing along? the total completed to date is:
- 140 stars OR 840 diamonds
- 416 hexagons
- 41 white diamonds
I have most of the missing border pieces basted, I am just piecing them in my production line like method.
To complete the borders I need to stitch another 56 hexagons and 21 diamonds and then complete the corner pieces
All of these sections fit together a little like a jigsaw, the blue sections below are the ones I have completed to date:
The end is in sight. I plan on free motion quilting this on my domestic machine in 3 sections and then joinging and completing.
