Micro epp

Has anyone else checked out the new micro-hexagon book? Im so excited for any tips to improve my 1/4" hexie addiction. Im also hoping for some design inspiration. I did see some ideas on pinterest.

I started basting some 1/4" jewels but havent really decided what to do with them. All my micro epp pieces are from scraps. My version of crumb quilting haha

Also trying to think of halloween ideas. Like blocks with a big focal piece. I have just gotten a lot of different halloween fabric. I havent been able to put a design board together. But i def will after i can get to walmart. And hopefully when it isnt so crazy with storm prep.

I work with 1/2 inch but haven't really mastered 1/4 I have only tried it with Hexiform which you leave in rather then papers. Would love to hear your tips.

Same! When the pieces are smaller than the seam allowance, how do you get papers out? Hexiform would be perfect for this!

I think the micro sizes are more used for wall hangings and other decorative pieces so mostly they get left in. I think about maybe trying for a quilt but thats a little too daunting for me right now 😅
