Oooh very pretty! I love the hexagons - I have never tried them - are they hard? Can't wait to see the brown and the log cabins are lovely!
I love the hexagons, too! I have seen instructions to make them using English paper piecing, and all with hand stitching. AAK! Is that how you're doing it? I've seen that pattern called "Grandmother's Flower Garden". The summer edition of the "Keepsake Quilter" newsletter has a picture on page 48 of a quilt of a woman in her sewing room, and she is making a hexagon quilt, and it is a real quilt with 1/4 inch finished hexagons. !!!
I haven't been able to find the picture on line, but maybe you can if you check www.keepsakequilting.com
i like what i see.
Nice hexagons! I have been stiching them by hand - one of my UFOs! It is a nice job to stich by hand, but so slowly!
I do sew by hand, using english paper piecing...and it does take forever! That'swhy I am planning a pillowcase -not a quilt :-D
Oh Tine I love the hexagons, you amaze me at how clever you are. I love the fabric you are using to complete this.
"The brown fabric has to be ironed before I can use it, so there's no knowing when that is going to happen." LOL - I love that remark! I'm glad I'm not the only one to come across such "stumbling blocks" - sometimes it's just a thing like that: fabric needing to be washed or ironed that delays my progress on a quilt, and once I get around to it, it doesn't really take much time at all... You are doing a great job on those hexagons - I know I wouldn't have the patience for that, but I'm sure yours will be great. And those log cabin blocks will make a wonderful quilt!
I love them. I love scrappy quilts. You most certainly can join my swap :) Just be sure to include return postage, and you may want to send in early, so I get them in time. I would love to have swappers abroad.
Beautiful!
