English Paper Piecing: Asterisms

English paper piecing (EPP) involves stabilizing fabric pieces with paper templates before sewing them into intricate designs (for more about EPP, click HERE.)  It is often used for shapes that require numerous set-in corners, such as hexagons, pentagons, and kites. Because EPP is done by hand, it makes a great on-the-go project. Here's a beautiful example from a recent show.

BFF by Kathi Shunn & Leslie Guyton, quilted by B'nae Pulve 

Based on the Asterisms quilt pattern by Sami Casanova for Darty Kite Pattern Co., this quilt was entirely English Paper Pieced by hand using a Heather Bailey fabric line called Local Honey.  Kathi Shunn says, "I pieced all the blocks and my BFF Leslie [Guyton] offered to finish it for me when it lingered in the UFO pile too long."

These gorgeous large floral prints, shown below, make fantastic kaleidoscope effects.  Check out Heather Bailey's fabrics HERE, and Darty Kite Pattern Company HERE.
