Update on the Scrappy English Paper Piecing (EPP) Project

So here is my update on the scrappy English Paper Piecing (EPP) hexie rosette project I’ve been working on since 2016 that I previously posted about in this post – ScrapHappy February 2026.

If you are just joining us, it was inspired by this quilt on the cover of the premiere issue of Quiltfolk Magazine, Issue 1: Oregon:

This was my progress back in February 2026 when I had 37 EPP flowers machine appliquéd to scrap denim:

I’ve machine appliquéd 12 more blocks since then:

I’ve would have done more but there was this little thing going on in my life called moving house…

Here are the 49 blocks now completed:

I have 50 more blocks to make for a 9 by 11 (99 blocks) setting.

My little challenge is the remaining 50 blocks need my completion of sewing all the hexies in the rosette together! They are just a center hexie with 6 hexies sewn to the center but not sewn to each other…

So I need to settle in for some serious hand sewing to be able to report progress in May’s ScrapHappy post 🙂
