More EPP

This week has whizzed passed! All the schools have now broken up but I still have next week and a couple of other days to work, before I can declare that I am off for the summer

I decided that I really need to get this mountain of scraps down a little over the hols


 And that this is the way forward


 I have always admired double wedding ring quilts: I think it is the 'original' quilt pattern.  I am also aware how difficult they are to do!  But I got these ready made pieces from paper pieces and I am ready to give it a go

The paper is like a more solid version of paper, without being card and it is really great for getting the fabric to sit snugly around the curves.  I started basting last night

and I am aware that I have a long way to go!! But before I baste all my pieces, I want to know that I am capable of this so am going to do one circle first - see how it turns out, before I continue.
Any tips on the double wedding ring quilt will be gratefully received!!

    Of course you are capable. I think that you are also serious about doing a whole quilt as you have bought the paper pieces! Go for it! Di c

    You are more than capable of doing it- it is the ongoing stamina I would have a problem with! But I am sure you will be fine.

    I am sure you are more than capable of doing the job. I've always wanted to do it but it's actually the negative space in between that scares me more than the tiny pieces. Will love seeing your progress on this one!

    Are you basting them one at a time? You can chain baste them in batches, then cut all the strings off once your done =D
