Below are photos of my class project. The pieces are sittingon photocopies of the design we are doing and a shot of the teachers backside of one of her squares.
My colors are blues and browns using a veryfine (100) polythread which just disapears into the fabric.
Here is some of the pieces as they will be attached when all the pairs are done
Attaching the two little diamonds
Here is the whole thing fabrics and tiny paper pieces, which will be removed once the squares are done - if I choose I can leave them in or take them out and reuse.
I think this would be a great way to do Grandmother's Flower Garden!! but will I ever get around to doing it???Thanks for dropping by --- Have a wonderful week full of stitches =========Roberta

It looks wonderful, Roberta! I love English paper piecing. I made a tumbling blocks that way and want to make a grandmother's flower garden. And others as well. I love the tiny pieces! Tiny is good! lol!
Very interesting! I've always wanted to try this.
Look forward to seeing it progressing :)
Oh Roberta - I have been dying to try that method with the hexie shapes. Several stitchers/bloggers are doing it but I have to agree with you - When to find the time?????? looks great - glad you had fun! What are you knitting these days? Melody

Hello Robertz.I can't do this but it's nice!!Love.Couson
I love your project, Roberta, and the fabrics! I'm doing some hexagon paper piecing, making my daughters each a grandmother's flower garden quilt. If you go to www.texasfreckles.com and scroll through her blog entries, she has some wonderful video tutorials on EPP, particularly pertaining to hexies. I also used her hexagon PDFs for my daughters' quilts. It's a pain to cut the paper out but I figure I'm saving money that I can put towards fabric. ;)
Very interesting!!!
Beautifull new projet

Hi Roberta,
I haven't heard back from you yet, so I've just emailed again from my Outlook account. Will you leave a message on my blog please if my emails aren't getting through to you?
Thanks

O, you went right to the top level. Grandmothers garden or tumbling blocks in a bigger size are much easier to make. And you CAN do it. It's so much fun. I took them with me today to the hospital (went with my mother for moral support), and got several reactions.
Go to this website; http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/hexagonal/ and you can print any size you want.
