Yesterday I started something small to take in my sew-to-go bag just in case I get bored with my cross stitch pillow case. I've never tried English paper piecing and thought I would give it a GO! (with the help of my new EPP Accuquilt GO! die that I got for an early birthday present). I LOVE IT! I thought it would be hard and tedious. It's fun and relaxing! So far so good.
Since this is my first EPP project, I am making a little table mat for our kitchen table. It will have a pattern something like this:

I really enjoy EPP work, it's so portable and much smaller than an embroidery piece. You are wise to start with a small project. Enjoy yourself, it's very relaxing!
New projects in the to go bag are always fun! Great layout for your table runner.
I haven't done much EPP yet, but I've heard it's lots of fun...enjoy!
I find it bothers my hands then someone said don't use card stock and use paper. Haven't tried it yet but you are right it can be so addictive.
I have an EPP project to start also. I am intimidated by all the papers that I have to cut as each one is a different shape and size. I have never tried it either. I think you are inspiring me to take a look at it later this week. Your pillowcase is so pretty.
Good luck Kathy - and welcome to the world of obsessed EPP quilters. They are fun, relaxing and very addictive. Enjoy!
EPP was one of several things I did back and forth across the US in the years we traveled full-time in a 5th wheel. It fits so nicely in an old candy tin! The pillowcase is looking good!
