Gypsy Party, 41″ x 49″, Vermont, 2023

I began this quilt in June 2022, and only finished piecing each of the 11 rows in early March. It’s my third English Paper Piecing (EPP) quilt and I’m still in love with the technique! It’s based on Willyne Hammerstein’s Gitana Fiesta (see middle image below). I’m working in lavenders and I’m really excited about this one. The piecing is simpler than My New Obsession, but the fussy cutting is much more important and can make or break the effect of her swirly stars. I completed this quilt in mid April, in plenty of time for the Bondville Fair Quilt Show this coming August 2023.

My third English Paper Piecing (EPP) work based on Willyne Hammerstein’s Gitana Fiesta (Gypsy Party in English). Piecing completed, time to border and quilt it!
Here are the fabrics that I’m working with on this quilt – I didn’t end up using the gorgeous hot pink. That went into another quilt..
