I’ve been slowly working on an EPP flower garden since September 2024. EPP papers were cut out, basted to fabrics and put together. I have 16 different fabrics and each flower is being made from each of those 16 fabrics. So when it’s all said and done there will be 128 flowers in the quilt. The gray background fabrics are meant to be like a fence that the flowers are growing on. I have an image in my head, when I go to put it all together I hope I can make it look like the version in my head! The dilly flowers and blooming star flowers are all completed and appliqued to the backgrounds. The wild bloom flowers are in my travel container – I work on them while waiting for the kids at school pickup, and I’m working on putting together the penultimate set of flowers in my chair at night.
I’m working steadily on this project because come December 1st my EPP advent calendar will start and I’d like to keep up with it in December if possible. I have the fabric already – found a layer cake I want to use and I already even have extra fabrics in the line if I need it. This year I ordered the special edition box that has the papers already cut out which will save me time!
