As for the EPP Plus blocks, they are really a lot of fun. I need mindless work in the evenings and these fit the bill! Super easy! I always welcome advice, so thank you for that! When you speak, I tend to listen! Yea, this whatever it is I'm making, will be the first layout and have plenty more grey surrounding it!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719432822327081144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-15036204006890712962015-10-28T16:50:50.507-05:002015-10-28T16:50:50.507-05:00Oh!

Would love to get the FQ bundle but am on pretty strict no buying fabric rules at the moment. (BOOOO)<br />I love the way the EPP is turning out! I'm glad you're going with the first layout. You're probably already working on it, but I feel like it could use a strong pop. Like a dark, dark grey. Not a lot, just two or three. :) Although it's gorgeous as is, so feel free to ignore me! :DAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906153998390697357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-90548205993443467332015-10-27T17:50:46.464-05:002015-10-27T17:50:46.464-05:00The first layout is my favorite as well!

English Paper Piecing is something I have only recently tried and fell in love with! The Plus blocks are the easiest I've ever done. Not sure how much fun sewing all the blocks together, but its fun! I've had my eye on Mass Drop waiting for the DS Modern Solids to come back for a while, like you I had to wait for the right time and it just happened to be the right time!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719432822327081144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-3778943452351511032015-10-27T01:47:10.370-05:002015-10-27T01:47:10.370-05:00Thanks Jayne for making me feel so welcome.

I don't think I have the talent to where I would have put those three fabrics together, but perhaps as I admire others', my own eye will improve over time. Anyway, I do definitely have a preference for the first layout. That's the one I went, "Ooh and Ah" over :) And your box of solids has been tantalizing me from Massdrop, too. It's so gorgeous! And it is a very good buy, I think. I just couldn't afford it right yet, but maybe it will come up during a time when I can. So, enjoy,moor those of us who can't yet! I'm so glad it's in a house who truly appreciates and pets it properly, if it can't be with me, haha!<br />Bethmagistrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11349672558449319503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-78129812680957187162015-10-26T09:10:12.976-05:002015-10-26T09:10:12.976-05:00I remember when you got your Modern Solids, I was ...I remember when you got your Modern Solids, I was so jealous and knew I needed to watch for the next drop!

I like that it is more random. I'm debating using the grey around the edges. I think that would allow the blocks to stand out more. We'll see! I have a lot more stitching to do!
