English paper piecing is not just about hexagons. There are many, many shapes that you can use. In fact it is about what ever shape you want it to be.
I use lots of different shapes in my quilt patterns and many of them marry together. Alot of the time I just play with the shapes to see what I can come up with. Childs play really.
IF THEY GO TOGETHER THEY SEW TOGETHER
I have decided that each Wednesday for a few weeks I am going to show you how some of the shapes go together. A bit like "Which goes with What Wednesdays"
So here you have it for this week.
Enjoy!!!!
BTW if you live in Tasmania and you would like to attend a Daley Demo Day in Hobart on either Friday or Saturday this week call The Quilted Crow Girls at Crow Central. It is a free morning with yummy morning tea. Go HERE for details

It will be so much fun to see how different shapes go together! I have only used hexagons for paper piecing but I want to try clam shells and other shapes. Thanks Sue!
