This is my s l o w l y growing English paper pieced top. I dream of spending time off and on over the years, making a truly magnificent quilt. But then reality sets in and I think it will be a pillow cover. I was introduced to paper piecing at the Grand Rapids Craft Club event put on by Jennifer of CraftSanity. I didn’t really think I’d like it, but I love combining the little bits of other projects. The solids (along with the stripe and ruler) are all left over pieces of ribbon from a headband making extravaganza I’ve yet to show you. And now I’m adding some left-overs from my pillowcase tops I made a few weeks ago that I -also- need to show you. I really love the idea of this having pieces of every fabric project I do over a certain period of time. It’s great for when I want to make something, but not necessarily “feeling creative” with ideas from scratch.
I also cut more little hexagons to stitch on. Does anyone know where to get a hexagon punch? I’d love one!!

P.S. Here’s a mosaic I made yesterday of some fav. Flickr tree inspirations. Love the trees, the leaves, the colors, the buttons, everything!
