Summer Circles

 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.
