WIP Wednesday

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.
Number 7, 32 to go


More floral blocks WIP's

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.

Playing around with shapes


Not quite sure whether this is going to turn out like the picture in my head. Time and more playing will tell.

  6. 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.

    The tulip blocks are very pretty, may the last half go faster then the first.
