So I pulled out the pattern and began assembling the hexagon flowers in 2012 after reading Karen's tutorials. I decided to only attempt a 9 block version. The hexagons are 1/2" . I brought with me 7 baskets and 7 handles to applique onto the 13" squares of muslim I cut.
When I get back from CO, I'll add the finished flowers to the blocks, and they will look like this:
Then it will be time for more hand stitching, or maybe I'll do it with the machine - stitching around the flowers and leaves that is.
Bye for now,

ReplyDeleteGood way to keep the hands busy
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely block and the perfect use for hexies. :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute!!
ReplyDeleteI remember those cute little baskets. I can't believe it's been since 2012.....wow.
ReplyDeleteI love the hexie flower basket blocks! These will make a gorgeous quilt!! Have fun in Colorado. See you when you get back. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip. Looking forward to seeing all your finished flower baskets.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun baskets! The quilt will be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat's going to put you way down the road toward finish! I do like the pattern. I had to laugh because when you said old Quilter's Newsletter, I was thinking issue 50? But then you said issue 260. =) I know that makes it more than 20 years old, but I started my first subscription with issue 51, and collected all but one of the earlier issues.
ReplyDeleteAdorable block. Enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteI follow Karen and she is so prolific!!! Love your basket filled with hexie flowers!
ReplyDeleteI see why you liked those blocks so much, Angie - nice melding of hexies and baskets, for sure. :)
