English Paper Piecing 60 degree diamond stars with Porstmouth Fabric

Hello! This week is all about my favourite English paper piecing shape - the diamond! Yay!

This time I was completely inspired by this quilt I pinned on Pinterest a while back, I really love the pink background and bright…

Jodi Godfrey 💝 English Paper Piecing on Instagram: "Confession: I don't actually care AT ALL about the fabric tails you get with any EPP shape that has an angle less than 90°. But I get asked about them all the time, so I decided it was high time I gave them some attention. When I did, I discovered something new!
