I am working on one now through Stitchin' Heaven so they pick the fabrics each month to try to replicate the feel of Lucy Carson Kingwell's design. I am hand piecing mine while I did consider doing it EPP like you did since I already had the template set she used on her cover version. I found your image when I was looking at how others' quilts turned out and wanted to comment---all these years later!

You do have to be Smitten with the pattern and paper piecing to make this quilt but in my case I think I was just being a good quilt friend to do this project with Carol. And yes, taking out the paper pieces at the end was torture and thank goodness for Tom Selleck to help me get through it.somethingrosemade14@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973160061640897272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455645182726396476.post-56377726835257341082017-10-09T00:16:44.024-05:002017-10-09T00:16:44.024-05:00Thanks Preeti!

It took me nine months to get to this stage and glad to be at this point. There were some parts of the project I enjoyed doing and some not as much but in the end I love the top. I can't wait to read on your blog when you start your Smitten quilt, it's just one block at a time.somethingrosemade14@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973160061640897272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455645182726396476.post-44188620286711376682017-10-08T23:56:58.223-05:002017-10-08T23:56:58.223-05:00Thanks Myra, I was surprised too that Smitten didn...Thanks Myra, I was surprised too that Smitten didn't turned out to be 8ft square.

Would you believe I have another hexagon project I take when I need something for a road trip, etc. After doing Smitten, sewing these blocks are going to be a lot easier. There's still more than 3 months left in the year and I did buy some more Kaffe fabric which wasn't part of the workshop but I still have to watch my goal.somethingrosemade14@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973160061640897272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455645182726396476.post-90084988412762404142017-10-08T23:50:10.521-05:002017-10-08T23:50:10.521-05:00Thanks Sandra!
