#16 – A Roundup of English Paper Piecing Ideas

English Paper Piecing (EPP) is a traditional sewing method to construct interesting geometric designs with simple shapes. This video is my brief explanation of the craft. And please forgive all those noisy birds in the video! They were very passionate about EPP!

These designers have great instructional videos to help you along. Beware, it can be a slippery slope!
Tula Pink is a fabric and quilt designer and uses English Paper Piecing in many of her quilts. Look for her EPP instruction videos on YouTube or check her website - tulapink.com
