Slow stitching in August

In October 2019 I was in NY and of course had to go on a hunt for quilt shops. I visited one, held the Tula Pink Sunrise quilt kit in my hands and in the end did not buy it as thought I would never ever have the patience for hand quilting.

 

In April 2020 with the lock down of the pandemic and being at home, I decided to buy the quilt online. The kit took over three months to arrive; first it was in quarantine in the US ... no flights ..... Then finally after many weeks the package left the US ... only to arrive in Japan .... mmm wrong direction .... 

Somewhere in between lock downs the kit arrived and I just did not get around starting. 

In all fairness, I had never did English paper piecing before, that is why initially I did not buy the kit. 

This summer, with the heat wave and inside a lot, I ended up watching many videos on how to do EPP. August is here and I decided to start. I have cut a bunch of triangles and prepared them. I have some nice thread so ready to go.

 

The aim this month is to sew several sets of two triangles, even if only enough for one sun. After all, this is a first.

Linking up with Patty over at Elm Street Quilts for August's OMG.
