Summer Circles

I have been trying to work on Summer Circles here and there

and it just does not seem to moving very fast. Of course as it

gets larger it takes more time and pieces to circle the center. 

I am going to keep going and will hopefully finish it by ....?

I do not want to commit to a date so I have made a diagram
 of the size I am shooting for. It is not to late to get started.
We still have starter kits available here. 

Summer Circles

 Approximate Finished Size 42" x 49"

Summer Circles

My sewing box has not seen much action lately. 

I am adding another round of light blues and creams.

Next up another round of brown elongated hexagons. 

How is your Summer Circles coming along?

It is not to late to get started, we still have kits available.

 Are you sewing along with our Summer Circles

English Paper Piecing Project? If you are, here are the 

first few steps if you are having trouble getting started.

 EPP is like a puzzle, start with one piece and just keep 

adding. Using your favorite EPP technique,start with a 

square and encircle it with blue 4 elongated hexagons. 

 The next round is a combination of light elongated 

hexagons and background fabric squares.

 Next add a round of red and green elongated hexagons.

Frame the center "medallion" with a round of light 

elongated hexagons and background fabric squares. 

Don't forget to add a little quirky surprise, a single 

yellow hexagon, just like the original. 

I just finished adding a round of brown and tan elongated 

hexagons. It is not to late to join us. Order a kit here.

I am making Progress on my Summer Circles.

I took a little liberty with the center medallion 

and really emphasized the red and green. I love the 

lone yellow hexagon. Take a look at the original and

find out a little more information here.

If you would like to get started on your cutting you will need a large
variety of light, medium and dark print strips cut in the following widths:

1"  |  1-1/4"  |  1-1/2"  |  1-3/4"

A few things to keep in mind
1. Length of strips needs to be a least 5" but I suggest
longer strips to make piecing a little easier.
2.Quantity of strips will vary depending on lengths.
3. You can always cut more if necessary.

We have some fussy cut center strips ready
for you. If you would like one to get you
started you can order one here.
