 E-6

I made this one last year.  Out of order.  I just had an idea with the fabric so I did it.  Fairly straightforward, but I need to rethink using directionals. 

 E-7

this one was modified from the original for EPP.  I used Thangles to piece the HST, otherwise, EPP and applique

E-8

This block was modified for EPP.  It was tedious to make.  I tried to think of other techniques I could use to make it easier, but I didn't really come up with anything.  But it turned out okay considering all of the 1/2" squares

 E-9

This one is appropriately titled "Quilt Jail".  I make mine like the original block by combining  machine paper piecing  and EPP. I sewed together the block, then applied it to 4.5" card stock to finish by EPP

I have all but 2 of the row finished, but I made them out of order.  When I finish them up I will post the rest of the row.

Hi Everyone,
I have had to take a short break in the current row to get a ton of Christmas sewing done.  I still have almost the whole row finished.  I will start posting some photos.  I'm glad that the holidays are almost over aren't you?

 E-1

this is the original version  I fussy cut the leaves .  Tacked them in the middle before I appliqued them down  even then, it is hard to get them perfect.  I basted the pieces to the background to stabilize them before I appliqued them down then cut a slit in the back to remove the papers. 

 fold background and press.  this gives you placement lines to place the leaves.

 E-2

I have so much trouble with the applique pieces.  This was okay, they could have been crossed a little better, and if I had it to do over I probably would have picked a different background print. 

 E-3

This is the original version.  I used Thangles to make the HST and then combined techniques for EPP

 E-4

This one was modified from the original for EPP  Just remember that the pieces are DIRECTIONAL, so mark accordingly

 E-5

Pieced like the original, I machine paper pieced the rays and then used a PERFECT CIRCLES 
for the center applique.  The center can be cut away to reduce bulk since it will be covered anyway.
