Well, I started another Hexie project - don't really know what you call this shape -Karen calls it flower petal - I think. It has 5 sides, but they're not equal, so I guess it's a polygon. It's block 1 of Karen's
Soupçon Mystery QAL.
I'm learning to fussy cut. I had a beautiful orange print, but I couldn't find a segment that I liked in the template I made from Karen's pdf of hexagons on her site. Then I found the piece above. I've gotten two made so far. I'm also trying Karen's paperless method of making the pieces. Three more to make.
Would love to see your hexie project, old, new or ongoing! Linky below. It ends Monday evening.
Didn't get any farther with my other flowers because of the above and also I had to finish a top for our St. Anne's meeting yesterday. I was handed a bag of fabric - a donated ufo from someone in the parish. There was some flannel yardage and all these strips. Here's the back - each square is 16".
I loved this fabric especially the red with the gold leaves and the tiny flower! Here is the front:
My part is finished with this project. It went to another member to clip and wash. We'll deliver it next month. Do you have a finish? I'm linking to Amanda Jean's

I love the blue print you have chosen! Your star reminds me of Moroccan tiles! I especially love the way each patch gets lighter toward the point! This is going to be one gorgeous block!

ReplyDeleteI love those fussy cut shapes. FYI, Julie Herman calls the shape a "jewel" on her Hex-n-more ruler. ;)
