Prepping EPP

I kept looking at the big basket of purple fabrics near my chair & thinking i really need to get that out of the lounge room. So yesterday i decided to get prepping the last 21 blocks of Mischief. Took me hours as first i had to match fabrics & then start cutting. The reason i was only doing 10 at a time was i only had 10 binding clips in my sewing bag. Luckily i had  discovered where i'd put the tin of them when i was searching for the Christmas bells a few weeks back. :)
All 21. They aren't glued down yet. I'd gotten this far when it was my bedtime.

Happy Stitching,

It is a lot of work prepping, isn't it... I must say with my hexies, I now try to use my Go cutter :) and I still stitch it all down by hand, I find if I use the glue stick I get more on me than on the hexies, lol! xx

Wow you have been working hard! But you have so much done. I do find with EPP that there are so many steps - pick the fabric, cut the fabric, glue the paper piece (I only put a dot of glue in the middle to hold it in place while I...), baste the fabric, then finally you get to sew the pieces together!

 At the start of March i had this pile of blocks. I couldn't get my head around how to turn all these differing block sizes into a quilt...
