Progress on my Hexagon charm quilt has been halting, to say the least. Largely, I believe, due to a lack of direction. I was happy to initially cut up little bits of scrap, tack them to bits of hexagon shaped paper and stack into little colour coded piles.
But where to then? So I left them in the cupboard for a while, as you do, when you have lots of projects on the go. The Crafty Mother then started her own little hexagon quilt (which, by the way, is looking stunning). She showed me a picture of this quilt: We are not sure where the original is from, if you know, please let us know!
A similar quilt popped up in last months Real Living Magazine. I am was smitten, enough to pull the hexies out of their confinement and start making hexagon flowers.
I think I will just randomly sew them together, as I go, and just keep adding and adding. I can't promise it won't go back in the cupboard for awhile again, but for now, I am going with the flow.

Your colour coded piles look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the tan and grey flower - gorgeous :) Plese excuse my ignorance in this - but do you stitch them together by hand?
Oh, and I saw the one in Real Living mag... nice! :)
Oh, I do love hexagons. And yours are looking lovely.
ReplyDeleteAll mine are packed at the moment. They came out of the cupboard and went back in quite a few times. I think it's good to have some slow burn projects, then you never run out of crafty things to do!
Unless you pack them of course.
:)
Gorgeous colour combinations - love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your colours. Look forward to seeing the end result.
ReplyDeleteGood for you--this is gonna be great!!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to look lovely with your fabric combos. I've got some of that Kristen Doran I think - haven't found the right thing for it yet. But I think I'm years off attempting hexes. Keep on inspiring me though! I'll be back to ask questions in about 2015!
ReplyDeleteThe hexie piles are delicious! I am drooling.
ReplyDeleteThese are looking wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour hexies are looking fab, Its good to put things aside for a while and tackle them again with renewed vigour!
ReplyDeleteThe colours you've chosen for your quilt are fabulous. I'm seriously jealous!
ReplyDeleteFabbo! What an excellent pile, and your flowers look great. Hexies do seem to be the go at the moment. I don't think i have the time, but VERY happy to look at others most beautiful creations :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that the hexagon vest pic has not traumatized you out of doing hexies. That flower quilt is amazing- looking forward to see your full mix of colours.
