Today's post title is not a euphemism for swearing. Really, it's not. It is to do with how I have been filling my 'free time' the past few days.
Because I have finished piecing my Walk in the Woods epp star.
These went together way faster than I anticipated. The star measures over 26" from opposite points. I love how all the half hexies makes such interesting patterns.
Isn't it funny how I started this with one idea in mind which didn't work with the limited colour palette in this range, but it is this very colour palette that makes this star work so well for me? As it is too big for a cushion I think I will appliqué it onto a whole piece of cloth and turn it into a baby quilt.
Meanwhile I have a whole lot of papers to pluck.
Paper plucking - isn't that what everyone does with their Friday evenings?

It looks brilliant - but I think I prefer my Barn Dance evening to paper plucking!
Stunning! Now if you had hole punched the papers first they would be much easier to pull out! Jxo
Wow - you are fast! Looks great!
Absolutely love it - happy plucking ;-)
Gorgeous piecing! Count yourself lucky you could be spending three and a half hours at a BB display tonight instead!
It looks great and paper plucking, brilliant! Say that fast three times ;)

It's fabulous! Enjoy the plucking!
Looks plucking fabulous, you are a clever chicken! :o)
Wow! Gorgeous paper piecing, Susan. Love how you arranged the colours to make this gorgeous star. Can't wait to see what comes after the paper plucking... ;o)
wow, it looks fantastic
Remember the days when Friday nights were taken up with dancing and nightclubs and drinking and getting home at 6am?
Enjoy plucking!
I hope you're not too plucked off with it now!
I think this might be my all time fav EPP project. It would look amazing appliqued onto a solid background as a baby quilt!! Have a plucking awesome Friday night.
You are very quick in the EPP dept. Good luck on the plucking front. Di x
Thats what i'll be doing with my friday evening!! So cute, I love the design!
I think I'll be sewing binding rather than paper plucking .. enjoy!
This will make a fabulous baby quilt! Happy paper plucking!!
Looks lovely Susan - I spent Friday evening sewing down binding:)
It's beautiful, and will Mae a lovely baby quilt. You are a fast mover aren't you?
Wow you sew fast. It looks fantastic and will be perfect appliqued on to whole cloth for a baby quilt.
I remember the Friday nights when I wasn't sitting at home paper plucking, sewing or watching tv! Where have they gone?
Your star is lovely, I hope the paper plucking was relaxing.
Your star looks fantastic.
Great idea.

Plucking papers!! It may become the new non sweary - sweary phrase round here. Beats 'sugar lumps' and 'fudge' any day!
TWENTY SIX INCHES? Are you serious? That's a monster. I'm sure your sewing space look like it snowed by the time you got all of those plucking papers plucked.
