If you've visited my Etsy shop lately, you may have noticed a few newer items listed.... Like these two...
1" Hexagon Paper Pieces
6 Point Diamond Paper Pieces
If you've followed my blog for the last few years..... you probably know about THIS project...
Which started my addiction to English Paper Piecing and Hexagons!
And then a few months ago I discovered the 6 Point Diamond Paper Pieces and started this project...
I'm in heaven!
I LOVE my stars... I LOVE how it's coming together....
I DON'T love how it's taking me away from finishing THIS project! LOL... But I just couldn't resist.

They are just as easy as Hexagon's and just as fun!
I cut strips of fabric (or use scraps) and then cut on the diagonal...
Baste it around the diamond paper piece just like you would a hexagon... {I like to pre-punch holes in my paper pieces.... they are so much easier to get out in the end...}
Start stitching your diamonds together...
Until you end up with this...
Then stitch those together....
And watch your project grow....
***NOTE*** There are some really good tutorials out in blog land for English Paper Piecing... Google 'English Paper Piecing Tutorials' or "Sewing Hexagons' or 'Hexie Tutorials'.... And follow along with the tutorial that you like...
If you have a English Paper Piecing project you'd like to share, leave a link to it in the comments! I would love to see them!
And second? A Etsy Update:
I wanted to let you know that most likely I will not continue to manufacture and sell 'Square it Up!' Templates... including the Funky Pinwheel and Double Hourglass templates in my Etsy Shop.
I have a limited number of them listed at this time ***note**** there are only 3 Double Hourglass templates left as of Monday April 30th 7:00 a.m. PST *** { P.S... if you don't see them in the shop, they're sold out...sorry }
So if you have wanted a Double Hourglass template... this is probably your last chance....
If you're wanting to know why I'm not going to sell these templates going forward in the near future.... See THIS POST for a little explanation...
{although.... I never say never.... I may at some point down the road decide to manufacture and sell them again. But as of right now.... I don't see it anywhere in the near future....}
P.S. Thank You to everyone who's purchased from my Etsy Shop the last couple of weeks, I appreciate each and every sale!
Happy Sewing this week!
