Hexie Weekend 8/8/14

No hand work for me yet - maybe I'm in a hexie funk, I don't know.  Still going through boxes.  I'm happy to report, I have three boxes of stuff to go away.  So I'm down to 16 boxes, geesh!  In going through those boxes, I found projects I definitely know I don't want to work on.  So , I put the fabric back in the stash and added the sample blocks to my orphan block pile. It felt kind of good to make 3 PIGs (projects in grocery sacks) disappear.  Very liberating.  What I did find is this stack of hexie like shapes- or diamonds if you wish.

Haven't a clue as to how they go together.  I was trying out something, I guess.  Any suggestions?

Here's a close-up of the fabric.  Betty, did you give these to me?  A real puzzle.  What has you puzzled?
Linky below - you can link any kind of eye candy - not limited to hexies or quilting.  My plan for this week is to actually DO some hexie work during hexie weekend.  I've been telling myself to do it ahead of time in the days  before and then POST my hexies, but that isn't working. So will now try the reverse.  Wish me luck.

Applique Tuesday

again has no applique for me to share.  I had to get this baby quilt done for tomorrow as baby Eliana is three weeks old already.  Liz, a sweet employee of the Library where I volunteer, told me she was decorating the nursery in Pink, White and Black, and that's what I picked:

for the back at least.  And the front does have the trio, but looks a little different:

I like the black binding.  Now to clip a few threads and wrap and it's ready to deliver tomorrow.  Hope you had time to applique.  Kerry at Simple Bird showed a lovely block on her blog.  You can see it here.  Tell me about your project and I'll come over to visit.  Blessings!

DWM and more

First, the Hexie Weekend Linky party is still open til midnight, today.  Share what you did this weekend.
Second, my stash report is on my right sidebar.  Added yardage from orphan blocks from my stash, borders for my Orphan block quilt, charity donation, and fat quarter to winner of my giveaway.
Thirdly the weekend was busy as I had grandkids over from Saturday through this morning.

They live 45 miles away and I don't see them as much as Alan and Will.  Lily and I made a mug rug for her Mom - her birthday is coming up. Little Frank (he's almost 5' at 10 years) kept beating me at dominos. Our son, Frank, came to pick them up. Of course no quilting of mine was done during this time.

I finally finished part 6 of my Happy Scrappy Orphan Block Quilt (just before they got here). This is still on my design wall as it is an ongoing project.  I have so many blocks that read light that I have enough I think for the next two parts of the BOM:

Need to check what Rosemary wants us to do this month.  And that reminds me, better check all the other BOMs I'm following as it is the first of the month. How many did you start?

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lyn's BOMs Away.  Take care!
