I have been watching EPP tutorial videos and searching Pinterest for quilts made using EPP and I kept coming back to the Brimfield Block by BrimfieldAwakening.
I loved watching Karen create her beautiful quilt and since the Hexagon quilt is completed, it is time to learn a new technique I think.
It will take me a bit to get started on it as I gather the papers, templates and the pattern....(They are currently in my cart waiting for me to hit buy now!) but I did a little search for fabrics and I think these might be some options for me.
Various charm packs I got from Craftsy years ago. I think I have 2 of each but did break into one of them for a few pieces. I'll have to see the templates to see if these will work or not. There are various shades in all of the packets.
Another option is this pretty batik pack that is in blue, teal and greens. Not sure I want to hand piece batik though, but we will see.
I have messy shelves of blues and teals, so that is always an option
or a FQ pack of reds I won last year might be another option. 
I am really leaning towards the charm packs in the top photo though - I do love all the variety of the colors and I think that is what I loved about Karen's quilt.

I think you should get those acrylic templates I sent you today or tomorrow so you can start to get a feel for the size of the Brimfield Awakening I will enjoy seeing your progress
Oh that is a lovely pattern; so you are leaning towards all solids? That is a tough decision--but a fun one to choose the fabrics...
I hope your upcoming week is a good one hugs, Julierose
The Brimfield block is a beautiful one! It will be pretty in any fabric. I bet you'll enjoy playing with the EPP and seeing what it's like.
My friend Sally and I are going to try EPP soon. Another friend of ours is going to do lessons for us as she is quite good at it. It's her favorite method. We'll see.
Best of luck with your new EPP project, Deb! If I ever do one, I think it will be those Hexies that you just finished. LOVE that quilt!!!
