English paper pricing part 1

So recently my eldest and I have has taken up English Paper Piecing.  I should say circled back to as she started this 3 years ago, but she didn't get very far back then.  She is the one hand sewing and how it is being laid out and I am the one that selects the fabric and fits them on the paper.  This is truly a fun scrap project. 

Anyway, we found some 2 inch hexagons online for free. (Thank you Kelli form The Willow Market!) Now my eldest didn't like only hexagons, so I am in the process of making some more shapes with them.

The hexagons are the 2 inch ones and I am extending the lines.  This allows me to get more fun shapes on this quilt.  I printed 75 pages of hexagons on card stock, so we should be able to get pretty far on this.

Scrappy Quilt As You Go Part 2

 So after talking to other quilters, I found out that they type of quilt I am doing is called a "crumb quilt".  I guess because the fabric pieces are so small.  Anyway, it appears that I am making multiple quilts.  Mostly because my kids are calling dibs of different squares as I sew them.  They are also getting into it and sewing as well.  My 13 year old son has 4 squares so far.

He even quilted the bottom one all by himself.

Each square is 10 inches.  Son wants it to be 4 by 5 squares so we need 16 more.

Scrappy Quilt As You Go part 1

So I have a long history is sewing.  I learned to sew at 9 or so years old and then did tailoring of my own clothing in highschool.  But other than knowing how a machine works, sewing was not really my passion, more like another fiber related thing to just kinda know.

Recently I have gotten into quilting.  Meaning, I have no idea what I am doing and, after watching about what feels like 800 YouTube videos on it, am trying my hand at it.  

I pulled out a bunch of reds, oranges and yellows.  I count many browns in the orange or yellow category and started sewing, kinda in a haphazard way til I got a square.

My squares are 10 inches.
