Nearly Insane English Paper Piecing Travel PacksĪs I make each draw, I am finding that fabric ‘fashions’ change quite quickly in my workroom. I have also found that if some of the pieces are asymmetrical, it is important to indicate which side is the front. On the Fabric Template, Electric Quilt has its own indicators for each piece, but before I cut up the Paper Templates for my English Paper Piecing, I often mark which piece belongs to each fabric.

To include in the travel pack, I print off a full size Paper Template for cutting up into templates for each of the pieces, and a smaller Pattern Template sheet, as an indicator of which block I am making. One of the reasons I am doing the project in batches, is so that I can get the fabric cut and prepared when I have more time at the weekend, in preparation for 'found moments' during my week, when I am usually working. This allows me to compare the different options more instinctively, and once I am making up the block it acts as a quick reference for which fabrics should go where. If there is a colour combination that I like, I either save it in my EQ Sketchbook, or simply take a picture of the computer screen on my iPad. There are so many combinations which I could choose from, I am almost glad I am sticking to just red and cream! Then I move onto my Electric Quilt software, where I have already drafted out each block - and then I play.
