And the library staff has been saving the blow in cards from all the magazines they get, so I have another 100 3/4" hexagon paper pieces easily punched with my Fiskar hexagon punch. I used 7 to make another flower block:
And I forgot that the first one had a flower oriented differently. And on closer look at the fabric, it looks more like a Liberty of London print than 30s. Ay de mí! I just spent an hour on a dud. Well live and learn. I may just make a mug rug or something out of this second one.
For the two giveaways, tell me which you'd like as the caption to your thumbnail when you link. You can use a flickr link or any photo site you use besides a blog. Ends Tuesday, Midnight - and please be sure there is a way for me to contact you. The last winner of 100 pieces had no way for me to contact her, and the same for the second name I picked. Sigh. Good luck!

I'm linking to Richard's Link a Finish Friday, TGIFF , Can I get a Whoop, Whoop and One Flower Wednesday (I actually had it ready Wed) since I did finish a block - lol. Go see all the goodies there.
Beautiful hexies Angie... I like the middles as they are - just stunning. Hugs, Karen
ReplyDeleteI really like both hexie flowers too-I made a couple mug rugs and love them-thanks for the giveaway chance
ReplyDeleteI think both hexies could work for particular projects. I really like the second one, it has a very vintage vibe to it.
ReplyDeletehopping over from Finished Friday from Richard and Tanya's quilts. lovely work, stop by my blog for giveaway.. I like #2, too
ReplyDeleteI do like both of your hexie flowers. But the first hexie is my favorite. I like the vintage look of the second one but the center seems to over power it a little. Anyway thanks for the give-away.
ReplyDeletelove hexie flowers , thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI love the magazine myself. Your hexies are so cute.
ReplyDeleteThose "100 blocks" magazines are the best, aren't they? I pored over them when I was working on a sampler quilt--the problem I had then wasn't too few blocks to choose from, it was too many that I liked. Thanks much for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteFirst you can't tell with two flowers, got to see it with more. I like it when there are some less contrasting blocks, so off hand I say it's good. For the giveaway, I like the book, but like a hexie too, heh

I didn't know there was a die to cut the hexie papers!
ReplyDeleteThat magazine looks very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
DeleteLove your hexies! I really like the centers with the fussy cut flower. And I even have some hexie progress that I shared today. Two trips worth of progress!! You have just the right size of hexies for my project. I've used some of them more than three times and they are getting a little raveled. The go cutter hexie I have is great for cutting the material but it's too large for the paper, I may have to go take a look at this 3/4 in hexie cutter. Between that for the paper and the go cutter for the material, I'll be all set!
ReplyDeleteI like the second one. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteBoth flowers are lovely and I would leave the center as it is.
ReplyDeleteI finished my 90 degree hexagon quilt - Lucy Boston, Patchwork of the Crosses and took it out of the washing machine yesterday - so finally got my link up - I still have one more hexie quilt in the works and hope to get back piecing it on a regular basis now.
ReplyDeleteAngie, don't change a thing, they are both beautiful as they are.
ReplyDeletehow exciting! I am a friend of Karen's and quite hexy mad. As I type I am on holiday, with a little tub of hexies to be basted in my suitcase LOL
ReplyDeleteOh hexi templates, already cut too.......bliss!!
ReplyDeleteReally like the contrast on the dark centred hexi flower but the other is lovely, just not so striking a contrast. Guess you could embroider a ladybird on the second centre or stitch on a ladybird button! Dont take either apart, embellish the centres abit lol
