My first finish has happened! Technically it's a left over WIP from last year, but it's a finish! Waiting for inspiration to hit me after the holidays seemed to take forever. Motivation was in short supply. What I needed was to ease back in to the saddle and to finish a WIP was an excellent choice.

EPP PLUS
20" x 20" |
EPP Plus Wall Hanging complete. Last time I blogged about this was in October (Here). I was trying to figure out a layout I could live with. Once that happened, the tedious process of hand sewing each and every piece together began.
Crunchy, crisp and clean! The fun part was popping all the templates out at the end! I choose not to sew through the card stock template which made it quick and easy taking them out.
When I started quilting I knew I wanted a geometric design. Beyond that, I had no plan whatsoever! It's the way I roll, what can I say?!
Vertical, horizontal, squares, diagonal...grey, aqua and copper thread was used throughout.
There are areas where I carried the aqua and copper thread through the grey background.
I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the binding. Something new and different! A Faced or Knife Edge binding. Have you ever used this method? I first saw it on a quilt that Debbie @ A Quilter's Table made. Right then and there I knew I was going to try it on my EPP Plus quilt.
The tutorial is available here: @ Bloomin' Workshop Blog
I didn't want to hide or break up the edges with a regular binding, I wanted to keep it clean.
With this binding method I wasn't able to do my usual mini hanging method with the corners. I'll come up with something that will work.
I'm just happy I finished and started...finished a WIP and started that flow of inspiration again!
