Scrappy hexie quilts

I had no business starting another English Paper Piecing (EPP) project but I did it anyway. Having a slow sewing project on the go cont...

Those of you who follow me on Instagram (myquiltinfatuation) know that these past few days have been a bit of an ordeal for me. While cooking dinner on Saturday night, I completely sliced off the end of one of my fingers (shocking that it wasn't with the rotary cutter, I know).

After finishing up my DUDQS mini quilt last week, I jumped straight in to making a larger version. I bought a jelly roll of Zen Chic's recently released Sphere collection a few months ago, and decided to design this quilt using just the jelly roll plus a fat quarter of background fabric for the setting triangles. I've written up a mini tutorial for how I put it together - and I also have a giveaway offered by the Fat Quarter Shop at the end of the post :o) I've designed this quilt using a…
