This Rainbow Mini Sampler Quilt is a great way to explore a selection of shapes and designs using pretty Liberty Fabric. Suitable for an advancing beginner sewer, it is constructed using a mixture of techniques which will help to add to your sewing skills. English Paper Piecing (EPP) is a traditional hand sewing quilting method which is simple and, as you will find, quite addictive!

It does require a bit of concentration but is easily mastered and there is no end to the items you can make with this method of appliqué!
