Block number/name: TLC “Sadie Rose”Date completed: November 5, 2010
Number of pieces: 16
Notes on block: If it works for hexagons, why not octagons? So I went ahead and tried out English paper piecing for the first time (I used this video tutorial by Connecting Threads). I prepped all of the octagons and then whip-stitched them together and then appliquéd the group to the background. It worked really well!
They look great! I love the fussy cutting.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I wouldn't have thought to use English paper piecing. When (if) I ever get to that one, I'll do mine the same way. Love how you fussy cut the octogons!!
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! Thanks for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty block. The way you cut the fabric just works perfectly
ReplyDeleteI love your fussy cuts! EPP is really great for fussy cuts and accurate piecing. FYI, you can do the squares with EPP also.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to do that block. I really like the fabric you used. It really makes your eye move all over the block.
ReplyDeleteI love how you fussy cut this one!
