English Paper piecing is a time-honored technique dating back to at least 1813. It's a wonderfully simple method for constructing intricate quilts with lots of perfectly matched points.

It's completely done by hand and can be assembled in modular units so you can take it with you wherever you go, and make use of those idle moments. Gwen will show you how to get started with this fun and exciting hand work project.
