Just Like a Jigsaw - squares and elongated hexagons

The star block in my previous post was made from the shapes for month 2 of this BOM. The pieces for the first month was squares and elongated hexagons. I needed time to figure out what to do with them, and this is the block I ended up with:


Been thinking maybe doing another round, but at the moment it's about the same size as the star block from month 2 and since I don't know what to do with these I don't want to make it too big.

Made another star block this week as well:


Having fun with these shapes :-D

Just Like a Jigsaw


This star block is my month two of the Just Like a Jigsaw BOM by Sue Daley. Ok, yes I know I don't have the best track record when it comes to block of the month programs, but when I spotted Lapp-Elisa is doing Just Like a Jigsaw I just couldn't help myself.

This is a collection of English Paper Piecing shapes and tips of how to put them together. The binder, thread and patterns came the first month, and every month now I get a parcel with fabric, templates and paper shapes to play with.


Not really sure what to do with this as the goal is to learn the technique and see the possibilities of the shapes, rather than end up with a quilt... there might be small projects coming from this, or perhaps a sampler quilt... For now I'm just having fun and playing with fabric and EPP :-)
