In the Mix: Hydrangea Quilt

 

English paper piecing can be quite a slow and time consuming process. Using smaller sections of EPP as part of a larger quilt is an idea full of potential. Combining techniques into a successful piece of work is one of our favourite challenges. Join Linda as she demonstrates how she’s mixed English paper piecing, painted fusible web and free machine quilting in a single small quilt.

Double sided fusible web (Linda uses Bondaweb)
Acrylic paint or acrylic ink and a brush
Sewing kit to include an iron and baking parchment
