Quilting on the Go: English Paper Piecing Projects You Can Take Anywhere

I am a beginner quilter. This book has very good instructions, pictures, links to templates in the book and links to online quilting resources.

Liked that this was something I'd not learned about - will be trying this soon.

This book is the second one I have purchased as a resource for EPP and I love it. Very good instructions, lots of great information, coloring/planning pages and lots of templates for shapes and patterns. After the disappointment of the last book I purchased, this one will be very useful.

This book is a comprehensive guide to English Paper Piecing, it has clear instructions, nice projects (love the messenger bag, and the baby quilt), and great ideas on how you can use shapes for patterns in different ways. It's easy enough for a beginner, but has enough to interest someone who is already familiar with EPP. I'm very impressed with it!Two things keep me from giving it five starts. This first is the template page for the projects. The templates are all layered on top of each other on one page, which is a little annoying if you're trying to carefully enlarge one (they all need to be enlarged 200%) on a copier. The second is that I'd like a little more information on resources. There is a page listing where to buy fabric and templates, but not noting very clearly which shops sell paper or plastic templates. On one page a picture shows a metal hexagon frame that is a great took for fussy-cutting fabrics for hexagons, and I would love one, but I couldn't find it through her listed resources.

Looking to learning EPP and did lots of research for the perfect book. This book which I purchased as a ebook, not only has lots of detailed information about EPP, but more importantly it has great photography of the steps and finished projects that are provided. Also there is a link to download a PDF file that contained not only the templates, but design sheets based on the shapes being used and she finishes by sharing her resources for supplies and design inspirations.

I have a Kindle. I previewed this book on my Kindle and then ordered the hard copy from Amazon. This is the best written book I have seen in a long time. So many books today, especially when it comes to quilting, are done haphazardly enough as to make me wonder who agreed to publish it. Not this book! It is well written from both a technical and language structure standpoint. It walks you though the basics so that anyone who wanted to learn could do so from this book and nothing else. I liked her touching upon the resources out in the world. It was very informative and I have taken several of her suggestions to heart. If she does another book, and I hope she does, I would love her to focus on paper piecing with glue and paper specifically. This is a newer art form that eliminates basting completely. The author could do a great job on that art form and the resultant applique of that end product. So many times, I see a book that talks about paper piecing and then only gives instructions for the needle turning method to use to applique. Well, with paper piecing with glue you do not applique in that manner as the fabrics are already turned. I really like this author and her approach. If you are wanting to learn or just wanting clarification, I highly recommend this book!

I gave "Quilting on the Go" five stars because it is exactly what I have been wanting for a couple of years. I started a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt two years ago and found out I love English paper piecing. I have completed hundreds of hexes on planes, vacation, in waiting rooms, etc. I have two hexie travel sewing kits - one in my car and one in my husbands. I also have a fishing tackle box filled with hexies ready to be sewn into my quilt. Now I am ready to try different shapes in English paper piecing. Jessica Alexandrakis gives complete directions for ten projects of all sizes - tiny sewing kit up to a quilt. Her projects include a variety of shapes with pictures of variations using diamonds, hexagons, half hexagons, triangles, and squares. The pictures are beautiful and show many variations of each shape.I have started an afgan-sized 60 degree diamond quilt using one of her diamond variations. I love it. She includes grids to copy and color your own designs. I can English paper piece anywhere - even while watching TV. It s very relaxing.

When I saw this online I thought it looked like a magazine, but the quality of this book is surprising. It is very sturdy and the paper is heavy. The pictures are lovely and the instructions are easy to understand. There are some fun, easy projects to get you started. I've been machine piecing and quilting for about 6 years, but taught myself EPP through videos and online tools during COVID-19 quarantine. This book brings it all together. There are tips from everything from needles to travel kits. I highly recommend this book for anyone learning EPP.
