Both of these projects are ongoing, though one should be finished soon-I hope.
This is Scott's Rhombi, a Penrose tiling. I'm stitching the edge on by hand, all the angles and points created all sorts of issues with finishing it. I'm using grograin ribbon stitched down on both sides with little tucks. I'll stitch it down on the back with a 1/4" (or a bit more) of the ribbon showing on the front. I think for it to lay flat it will need a row of machine stitching as well. I'm nearly finished with the front, would really love to have it finished by the next Guild meeting on the 13th.
A full view of my hexigon quilt. This will be the center, I have a long way to go. I just began making flowers with no idea how I would put them together. Now, of course, I wish I'd not used yellow in the center but I won't be undoing any!
Both of these projects have been English Paper Pieced and I may have found my favorite part of quilting! I reserving judgement for a while.
I think I may have found that missing Mo-Jo! Yesterday, I had the most productive day I've had in months! A little house cleaning, a little cooking, a little sewing, and of course the exercises! All in all a great day!
The University of Missouri-Columbia, my college alma mater's, football team at 11-2 earned a place in the Cotton Bowl (they took the East region of the Southeast Conference)! Tonight's the game! I really hope they win but whatever happens I'll be a proud Tiger! Beth and Lucas are having a little party with the boys so Quinn and I will head down there to watch at least the first half! Scott and Bri are going to the actual game-the lucky stiffs!

The Rhombi's edges must be quite challenging but you seem to have it tackled. I love your EPP project! It is a rather pleasant activity and the blocks seem to go together quickly. I'm glad you had a productive day. It always feels good to have them. Hope your team wins!
