FMQ Friday on Saturday

I'm very slowly working on quilting a charity quilt instead of having it tied.  This one called out for quilting a motif in the center squares.  After going through my books, I picked a butterfly designed by Mary Covey.  Here's the flimsy I'm working on:

The first square

and a closeup

I traced the pattern onto freezer paper and then cut around it.  I ironed it to the square and then sewed around it.  I used a free motion foot (aka darning foot - open).  I'm going to use a different color thread for each butterfly.

I'm linking to Leah's FMQ Friday.  Don't miss it.  Happy quilting!

Hexie Friday

Got another flower finished! And started on the third of the trio.

Share your eye candy - hexie or otherwise - new or old.  Linky below.  I'm linking to Crazy Mom's Finish it Friday - don't miss it. Oh and read about a new hexie ruler here. Plus they have a great tutorial. Keep scrolling down and you'll see lots of eye candy. It's a wholesale site, you can't order directly, but oh what inspiration they supply. Just FYI.
