Dresden Flower By: LeAnne Law, Oregon, USA This dresden pattern is by Vicki at Quilting Lodge blog. She was gracious enough to give the pattern away on her blog during the Dare to Dresden blog hop.

English Paper Pieced Table Runner By: Karin, Australia I came across English Paper Piecing at a Quilt Show some years ago. Seduced by the fabric, I bought a bag each of these tiny squares and hexagons, however the project became an UFO in due course after the first few rows. Last year I dragged it out again and completed it. So worth it in the end. Quilt size: width: 19.5" height: 34" |

Yes, I’ve done English Paper Piecing thanks to Paper Pieces little free pack of hexagons. I turned my little flower into a much-loved pincushion. I do not baste through the paper pieces so they can be reused. I also do not cut exact seam allowances just squares whose edges I fold down and do a running stitch through. Be sure to put a knot in your thread though, otherwise you’ll be going round and round in circles. You’ll never get one of those little hex papers covered! Don’t ask how I know this…
I am working on a flower garden quilt, but only have a fe pieced together. I am not fond of handwork so this is gong slow!
I haven’t done any English paper piecing or hexies yet but it’s on my list to try next. Your watermelon pattern is beautiful and I’d love to win it! It looks like a great way to start.
