But like, why would I want a quilt with paper in it?? 😂 

Whem my dad was having chemo treatments that took 4 hours a day, I used a Rubbermaid food storage box, that was small enough to fit in my purse, to take along enough tools & pieces to sew. It kept me sane & the staff & other patients enjoyed watching my progress. After my dad passed, I donated a quilt to the clinic, in his memory, for their patients to cuddle in while getting their treatments.

I love hearing about your grandma. You have that love in everything you do. I’m so happy I found you on here. I totally understand that you need something to do with your hands as you’re sitting with others. It’s in our blood, THE TRUE LOVE OF BEING A CRAFTER!!! Thank you for sharing!!

That's awesome! I have been doing sashiko as a portable project and I love it. Handsewing might be slow but it's relaxing and doesn't keep you from socializing. Your quilt is lovely and the fact that it's done slowly by hand, and also with family, just makes it more special. I bet kids would enjoy helping with a project like this too. Even littler kids can learn to do a whip stitch!

Love your story about your grandma and the quilts. Thank you ❤️😁🌹

You made me cry this morning 😢

I actually learned EPP last year and I really have loved doing it. I need to pick mine up again and finish my project. Just not sure what the final project will be!

That's beautiful 🎉 I crocheted a blanket for my grandma and it went in the casket with her. I felt the same way. Thanks for sharing your story.😊😢

What a lovely video. You're amazing.🎉

❤

Wowzers! That is beautiful!

EPP is great when you fussy cut the fabric! I have seen some great optical effects when that is done! You are awesome!

I’ve been working on a bed cover for my bed with hexagons for over 2 years

How and when do you take the paper out?

This is great! You should try foundation paper piecing and then move on to regular paper piecing with an add a quarter ruler! That is so much fun!

😊that's great

In years gone by they actually left the paper in for insulation. Also the material was actually sewed to the paper.

Where did you get you pink storage box?

I like hand work, but I can’t do it very long because I have arthritis in all the joints of my hands so they don’t cooperate very well at times😢

Can you saw the backing without cutting the original material, or will that look bad??? Thanks.

What size hexagon would you suggest to start with?

I’m assuming you take the papers out before you put the quilt sandwich together. Does it not tear up the templates?

Love your quilt. I’m getting ready to start another one I may try the larger size Hexie. Did you say they were 1.5 inches?

I purchased the hexagon templates from Amazon. My size says they're 1.73 inches by 2 inches at the longest points. What size of fabric squares would I need to use? Thank you for your channel. It is helping me so much!!

I would really like to try this. How many templates do i need and the size? How do you remove the paper? Sorry if these are silly questions. Sorry about your Gran ❤

Hello Chelsea Thank you for your clear and informative videos. What kind of thimble do you use for English Paper Piecing? 1:40

You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your many talents!

Do the stitches need to be very tight together? This looks like normal whip stitching. I tried this and I liked it but had trouble seeing to make the stitches so tiny. Am I trying to hard to make them perfect??

EPP was alot of paper. I know it's popular, but it's wasteful. I also don't use those triangle papers. Your quilt is beautiful.

Are you catching the paper in the whip stitch or no?

So it's a stencil?

When do you remove the paper

When do you remove the papers?

What is the thimble thing called that you are using.
