Hello! My wife, Sharon, and I enjoyed meeting all of you at the international quilt show in Chicago last April. I have finished my first english paper piecing project--and it's a big one! A grandmother's flower garden -- 108 x 108. Attached are two photos - one of me putting on the last hexagon, and one of the quilt top on our bed. Now we just need to get it quilted!! :-)
I have another project going as well - my own design commemorating my Ironman triathlon experience. I am mainly a winter stitcher, so I hope to complete it by next Spring.

These are the first 6 rows of my GFG. Only 5 more to go. The connector blocks are in a light beige with a white print fabric. This represents almost 4 years of work. Can't help wondering how other manage a more speedy result.

Enclosed are photos of my paperpieces projects.
The bed quilt took three years and was my first paperpieces project and we love it.
Your Yesterday's Stars took a Second Place Ribbon for small one person quilts at the Port St Lucie, Fla Quilt Show put on by the Crazy Quilters.
The miniature granny flower garden was something I tried and it is my favorite piece. Each piece has a French knot in the middle.
I hate to say, I am hooked, or paperpieced. Thanks, I think! Sandra J R. |

I started using Paper Pieces in 2005, when I retired from the work world. I actually started quilting in 2003. I really love handwork, people think I'm a bit bonkers, but I have taught several family and friends who also enjoy handwork!
This colorful quilt was a wedding present for a family member. It is made out of 1-1/4" hexagons and is King sized. |

I used 1/2" hexagons. Because they are rather small and intimidating for people you have not tried them, a friend of mine used to tell newcomers to our group that I was making a king size quilt! The reaction was always 'Oh! My God!' This quilt is 46" x 48". I used a different fabric for each flower. Had I worked only on this quilt I would have made it a little bigger but I decided to stop when I ran out of scraps. Someone shared a few of her hexagons and your address with me to get me started, and I did the same. One friend used oriental fabrics. So far it looks very nice. I am so glad you like the quilt.

This is a picture of Annette's first project. "I am just starting on my second quilt but had a mishap with the rotary cutter taking off the upper left corner of my index finger. I was warned those things were sharp but I got a bit careless after cutting so many yards of fabric and got distracted...I guess I learned my lesson the painful way." ~Annette
