Taking time for some English Paper Piecing 

in the Ariege.

This little mat uses fat diamonds & equilateral triangles.
It's hand pieced and hand quilted using a variegated thread.

I've used African beads to add a little weight to the outer points.

A brown Batik fabric for the backing.

I'm now working on a Tumbling block piece.
Another stash buster!

Prompted by a recent DMTV video I had a fun time making these 'paper bead' necklaces.  The top version has metal spacers and the bottom version has pink doughnut spacers.
