Island Batik Ambassador EPP Challenge featuring Sunset Tree from Curlicue Creations

This is my last Island Batik Ambassador project for 2021. I've been working on this quilt since February. It has over 1500 hexagons, all made from my Island Batik scraps.

Disclaimer: The products used to make this project were given to me by Island Batik and industry partners.

The challenge for December was to make an EPP (English Paper Piecing) project using any of our Island Batik fabrics. The requirement also stated that our projects could be as small as 12" x 12".

I adore English Paper Piecing. I usually have a project or two going on at a ...

Hexagon Project Update from Curlicue Creations

This project has come a long way since my last update! I'll bet you can see what it is now. It's nearing the finish of the hexie piecing. I may have to stop and make a few more black hexagons. I'm almost out of them. It's exciting to see it coming together.

New Hexie Project Prep from Curlicue Creations

Have you seen my new hexagon EPP (English Paper Piecing) project yet? I've posted a few in progress pics on Instagram and Facebook recently. I've just begun stitching the pieces together. This is how it all begins. I like to cut out my hexagon shapes with the Accuquilt die. I favor the smallest size.

For this project, I cut all my fabrics from my Island Batik stash.

I cut out a variety of sunset colors, pinks, yellows, oranges.

A variety of blues, some stormy, some twilight.

And black too, some solid, some not.

More sunset hexies. Can you ...

Mid Pandemic from Life under quilts

We will spend the rest of our lives contemplating this time.

And I wonder if my children will learn anything about the time pre-pandemic when they're in school. Of course they will learn American history by whoever ends up writing it, but how far into the recent past will they go? I am sure they will cover the birth of the internet and the rise of change brought on by technology, they will cover 9/11 unless of course whoever writes the history books of the future sees that differently. What will they know of the first 20 years ...
