For the first time ever I'm linking to Lee of Freshly Pieced
These are soooooo not my preferred colours, I love bright tropical saturated colours, and it doesn't go with my decor.
BUT
I love everything about this piece, the colours, the fussy cut hexies, the striped background, the borders.
I originally saw some hexies in Rural Jardin on the net, but for the life of me I can't find it now to give them credit, which gave me the inspiration for this.
I'm debating whether to leave it as a cushion sized piece or to make it bigger and use this as the central medallion for a larger quilt.
I've also been plodding along on these.
Four more almost finished, that will make it 11 finished blocks,21 28 (hmm my math is not so good is it) to go, these are going to take me a little longer than I thought.
It doesn't help when I start playing with something else.
Not quite sure whether this is going to turn out like the picture in my head. Time and more playing will tell.

Lots of fabulous things you have been making! I LOVE the french General hexies, but I can't make a suggestion as to what you could make? and the tropical colours in the last photo-wow! fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to W.I.P Wednesday. I love hexagons and paper piecing. Am so liking the cushion idea.
ReplyDeleteI love Rural Jardin fabric and have a range of FQ at home for another project.
Keep posting.
You could always start something new! Kidding....
ReplyDeleteLove the new hexie flower. Beautiful. And if youve only got 21 bouquet blocks to do you're halfway there..whoooooooooo hoooooooooo
Love the hexies Marg, and the floral bouquets!
ReplyDeleteLoving the Soul Blossoms down the bottom too, i just got some its Beautiful, cant wait to see what it will become!
Woops, I can't add up, or subtract!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shay, I thought how can I be half way if I've only made 11.
Both hexie projects are beautiful. Sometimes it's fun to work outside your normal color palette, but I admit I never know what to do with the projects when I'm done with them.
ReplyDeleteThe tulip blocks are very pretty, may the last half go faster then the first.
Welcome to WIP Wednesday - you'll always find something new and fun :) Your hexies are adorable. I must learn how to make them!

ReplyDeleteIn case I haven't said it before, I love the hexie block, especially the center hex. It is so striking. Makes me want to re-think my aversion...
