E-1O

This block was fairly simple.  The background is a simple four patch block.  So I just pieced this on my machine.  I then appliqued on the two leaves and glued the whole piece onto a 4.5" piece of card stock for EPP

E-11

This block was a little more complicated.  I wasn't crazy about how the EPP pattern was done.
but you need to do it certain ways to do it that way.  I thought about it, and since I also have the EQ software, I was able to make my own pattern

 These are my fabric pieces along with the EPP pieces.. It was intended that the center was to be appliqued onto the circle then onto the 4.5 with the quarter circles appliqued onto the corners. 

 I appliqued this into the center of  a fabric square.

I then laid the blue frame over top and reverse appliqued the circle around the center part

 I also reverse appliqued the corner circles.  so instead of being appliqued on top, they are behind the blue.
It was a difficult block, I'm not totally unhappy about how it turned out.

E-12

I really dislike doing EPP triangles.  To top it off these were tiny triangles. But it is all EPP and best of all, finished!!

E-13

I made the two half square triangles using thangles and my machine then glued them onto card stock.  But otherwise, it is EPP

On the dark corner triangles, I glued 2 sides down then left the seam allowance a little longer so that I could center them and baste them to the block which is ultimately, appliqued to a larger piece that is then glued to 4.5 square card stock

Before I started hand applique, I machine hasted all of the block down so it wouldn't shift.  Worked out great.

I hope that these tips help you or at least give you ideas of your own!!


I have row F Prepped, so the next post will be about that.  As soon as I have all of the photos ready.


Keep Stitching!! You'll finish!!
