Meadow Flower Lap Quilt Flimsy

The Meadow Flower flimsy is finished! This more than completes my One Monthly Goal, which was to get started on an EPP (English Paper Piecing) project. This also completes a project from my 2021 WOOFA list. 

This was my first ever EPP project so I wanted to do something relatively simple so I could get the hang of it. I really enjoyed working on this project so I am definitely going to do more EPP projects. It's wonderful to have something to work on when I'm out of the house.

Even though I wanted this as a project primarily for when I was off doing things outside of the home, I have to admit I did work on it fairly often while I was at home. It was a fun project and once I only had 4 blocks left to finish, it was too difficult to resist the lure of finishing before the end of the month.

The flower block is from BlockBase+ (#4143) and is called Meadow Flower.  According to BB+, it was originally published by the Old Chelsea Station Needlecraft Service in the 1930s. I exported the SVG file from BB+ and cut it out on my new Cricut Maker, so it was super easy to make this project.

That wild floral print is a really old fabric I bought in around 2000 to make square dance clothes. The rest of the coordinating prints are just a random assortment of fabrics from the stash.

    I love this, that black really makes all the colors pop but I especially love the way your green looks against it. Like a good book, I understand how this would be hard to put down.

      Thanks. I had fun playing with the fabric stash to pick colors that coordinated with that wild floral print.

    Well done. I take my hat off to you, as I wouldn’t have the patience to do that much EPP. I love the rich colours. Now to decide what EPP project you will start next.

      I've already picked one out and am working on prepping for it. It's a little more advanced, but not too much. =)
