All Points Patchwork
All Points Patchwork: English Paper Piecing Beyond the Hexagon for Quilts and Small Projects | Diane Gilleland
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
The key to perfect patchwork is getting all of the points to match up -- which is no easy feat! Thanks to the rediscovery of a traditional technique known as English paper piecing, success is now possible for quilters of all levels. By cutting the desired shapes from paper, basting the paper to the back of your fabric, and then hand-sewing the pieces together, you'll ensure perfectly matched points every time. This complete course in English paper piecing takes you far beyond traditional hexagons with step-by-step photos showing you how to connect triangles, octagons, diamonds, jewels, triangles, tumblers, pentagons, and curved shapes. It even provides dozens of ideas for incorporating the pattern designs into clothing, pillows, quilts, and home decor items!

This is a really excellent craft book! Detailed written instructions and clear photographs explain English paper piecing very thoroughly. There are lots of project ideas, though only one is shown step-by-step (the pentagon ball)—it‘s pretty much obvious how to do the rest, since she gives clear instructions on joining shapes and doing appliqué. I can‘t wait to get started doing some English paper piecing.

Quick, informative, & easy to understand for beginners like me! Can't wait to start my first EPP project!

Samplergal I‘ve never seen that book. I‘m going to request thru the library. Looks interesting. 7y
DGRachel This reminds me that I have an EPP project I start more than a decade ago. I really should finish it... 7y
mabell I've never heard of EPP! This may be stating the obvious, but is it quilting with paper? 7y

Ms.Story @mabell Yes, I've never actually done it, but you use paper (sometimes other materials) to form your fabric shapes. After you stitch your fabric together, you remove paper. I think it's a manageable way to take your quilting along with you and also meditative for some people! Here is the book website: http://allpointspatchwork.com/ 7y
Ms.Story @DGRachel I can't wait to settle into my first project. Share a pic of yours when you finish! 😃 7y

Isn't this beautiful? It's almost enough to make me want to take up sewing! Not the right book, but I went to an embroidery exhibition at my parents' church today and along with the altar cloths and vestments there was this christening cap and matching gown made to a pattern in a book written by the lady whose work was being exhibited.
