I pieced one more star. I'm still not sure how far that I will go with these. Maybe a table runner or a lap quilt.
Here are two stars that I made from the same fabric. They look totally different. That is one thing that I like about fussy cutting them.
I'm thinking that I may need to take a break from my hexies for a week or two. I'm debating on how that I want to finish it and that got me stressed out. LOL! I have most of the sections peiced and now they just need to be sewn together. It's the edges that I'm not sure about. I'm not sure if I want the sides straight and the top and bottom shaped like the hexies. I don't even know if I want to hand quilt it or machine quilt it. I will figure it out, I'm sure but right now I just need to walk away from it.
I worked on a few Windmills also. It felt good to get back to these.
I ended up piecing 18 more of them.
Adding 18 more of them now takes me to a total of 126! Sounds like a lot but I actually need 402 more of them!!! For what I have planned I need 528 of them.
I also pieced a few more of these tiny 4 patches. They finish at 2". I have 100 of them done and I guess I will work on these on and off for a bit or just use them as a leader/end project. These are for a long term project and I need a million more of them.
So it's Memorial Day weekend, I know a lot of people have cookouts and such but we are not doing anything really. Richard and Andrew are working all weekend. Hunter has a friend staying over and I'm just hanging out. LOL!

I am doing nothing special this weekend either - rain predicted for next two days why bother to try to do a cook out in that - all of your quilts are wonderful pieces sometimes though we do need to put one aside and take a break and say come back in a month or so - I do it all the time.
Traveling home today (basting EPP bow ties). As far as I know, we'll be unpacking and settling back in tomorrow. Happy Memorial Day.
I thought you may want to look at Karen`s blog http://faeriesandfibres.blogspot.co.nz/ for inspiration. It`s amazing how she works with EPP. Happy Stitching
Your blocks look wonderful. I love the way the fabric works when fussy cut. I need to get back to mine. Seconding the recommendation to check out fairies and fibres blog, it's a goldmine of beautiful English paper piecing.
Lovely stars!
You are doing great with the windmills! I only have 50 of them, but I am only planning on a lap quilt. Haven't even figured how many I need. : )
