I can’t believe what I am about to write: “A 200 piece English paper pieced quilt is a quick project!”
Here is my latest quilt top.
It’s a cloudy day here and I am disappointed that I can’t take better pictures.
The colors are brighter than in these pictures.
I enjoyed so much to make it…
and I am thinking about new designs and fabric combinations.
Here is the back.
And here are a few WIP photos:
The sphere is 30″ (75 cm) in diameter.
The back with paper templates still there – it looks good (idea for a new design!).
I enjoyed even removing the basting stitches and pulling out the paper templates.
In love forever with the fabulous English paper piecing technique!
Wishing you a great weekend!
~Geta- definitely wiser, after the making of this project! And more aware than ever of her biggest fault: the impatience.
Stunning! Can't wait to see how you quilt it. 🙂
Vakkert! Jeg liker veldig godt 3D effekten.

Wish you were here to teach me how to design shapes like this in EQ in order to have the correct size pieces around the outside edges and even to just design the total shape. I will never really figure out how to use EQ.
Love it – I have been gathering my pieces of fabric to make a similar quilt. I posted it about it last weekend on my blog can't wait to get started – just need to get a few other projects out of the way.
The design wasn't made in EQ, Mary.
I love this so much. The 3 D effect is amazing!

It's beautiful! I love that all the fabrics came from one line, so the little pattern is continuous throughout the quilt. So amazing!

Wow ! this one is stunning, too. I'm wondering : when you'll stop ? 😀 I feel that you are not impatient but restless in patchwork. From where do you take all that energy 🙂 ?
This is fantastic!!!!

PARABÉNS,ficou lindo.Eu sou viciada em,e a infinidade de coisas que se pode fazer com eles.A minha primeira flor eu falei:Este é um serviço para presidiários…Ledo engano.É um serviço de liberdade em todos os sentidos.Pegue uma revista de ponto de cruz,faça papel minúsculos e siga um gráfico de sua preferência,você não vai conseguir ficar sem fazer pelo menos um alinhavo por dia.Esta é uma dica aliciadora.Mostre esse trabalho depois de pronto por favor e não vá estourar essa bola linda.Beijos.
So striking!This is very inspiring! I love the look of depth.
Absolutely wonderful! Congrats on getting it pieced! One question for you…are all the hexagons the same size?…the finished piece gives the illusion of a ball and not a flat plate. Just astonishing!
Kathy
magical!! Love it.
I cannot believe you think you are impatient – I guess it all was hand sewn when joining the hexagons?? It looks fantastic.
Wow! That is simply gorgeous. I really love the way you've created this. I love the way it tricks the eye and makes the entire thing appear to be totally round and almost like it's floating ~ or maybe I just haven't had enough coffee and it's my eyes playing tricks on me. haha. Seriously, it is a very impressive work and beautiful. Great job!
Beautiful! I so want your book but I don't think I could even do as good as you do even with a book. I would love to see you do one with white, lime green, and all bright pinks. My favorite colors.
Olá Geta!
Adorei, como sempre, ver esse seu trabalho.
Ficou simplesmente maravilhoso!
O tecidos escolhido e as cores ficaram ótimas.
Parabéns!
Um abraço,
Maria Josefa

I LOVE it. The 3D effect. The hexies. I've only just started EPP myself and you're giving me ideas. Wonderful!
Yet another stunning quilt Geta! Can't wait to see it quilted.

Oh… I love the idea of the hexies within the circle. It really looks great.
Fantastic Geta!!! It is stunning
i can not get over how cool it is that it looks 3D….awesome
