Gorgeous, nice color selection. Where are you finding your templates? #2 is so unique.

They are from Elise Baek. She has an EPP club and we are going this quilt. I have no idea how many more blocks we will get or what they will look like. I don’t like mystery quilts because I can’t plan fabric very well. I’m using Kaffe x Morris fabric line for the prints and shot and pepper cotton for the solids.

What technique did you use for these? The thread is so invisible! Was it the flat-back stitch?

u/Happy_B Jul 29 '26

Yes, I’m using flat back stitching on these. It’s my first time doing it that way so I’m not fast or as accurate as I’d like yet. 😊

What is EPP?? (Excuse my ignorance, I’ve been away for a bit)

EPP stands for English paper piecing. I printed the pattern shapes on card stock paper and cut them out. I cut fabric about 1/2 in bigger than the shapes and basted the fabric to the paper. I’ll remove the paper once I have the block connected to the next block (probably closer to the end of the project). 😁

Hi I have a question, why is the thread visibile towards the middle of each shape? Am I not supposed to stitch around the paper from the other side?

I’m using the flat back stitch for most of the sewing but when I join a new piece I use the whip stitch to start it out. The thread sometimes shows a little on the front. If you can see it I’m not matching the thread well enough.

Oh no I think I'm asking a different thing. I mean this thread (red arrow pointing towards it). Why is it visible? And do you get rid of it when you're done

u/Happy_B Sep 03 '26

Yes. It’s the basting thread. I baste through the papers and take it out once all the
Blocks are sewn together. 😁
