POTC

It has been a while since I posted here...I usually post on my main blog and it has been quiet here, I am going to try and get better at posting here as well...

 I have started my blocks for my Lucy Boston Patchwork Of The Crosses...I have enjoyed making these two blocks and have several more cut, basted and ready to stitch together...

Another look at the two blocks I have made so far...I will start adding the border shapes when I get five blocks stitched together...

I need a total of 56 blocks which means I now need 54...anyone want to join me in making this lovely quilt? It makes a lovely hand project or traveling project to work on...until next time keep those needles stitching...

Hexagon Love...

This is another fairly new project I am working on...this will have 13 blocks when finished....I am enjoying the process...it has been really quiet on here...are you still hexing along? The bottom pic shows the colors better...

 Since I am working on hexies again I will try and keep up regular posts on here as well....lets see some of those hexagon projects you are working on...until next time, keep those needles stitching.

A Few More Hexies...

I made another hexi for my scrappy hex quilt that I am making...I have a few more basted and ready to stitch over the next couple of days as well...this one I fussy cut which I am not to keen on for the waste that it causes...I only had a tiny bit of this fabric left, so I decided to grit my teeth and fussy  cut the cups...I like how it turned out...keep those needles stitching.

Another Star....

Here is another star for my scrappy stars quilt...these are very enjoyable to make and so easy to do....they come together quickly once you have them basted...I  will be basting the stack you see this week and trying to get them together as stars as well...what are you working on with epp...keep those needles stitching.

English Paper Pieced Star

I decided to try the diamonds to make a star.  I just grabbed some bright scraps and this is what I got.  I did enjoy playing with it.

I decided to make it into a mug rug so I appliqued it to the tan background.  I did not quilt it but tacked it at some of the corners and then brought the back around for the binding.  It came out okay.  May do more stars in the future.

Some Hexie Love....

Another large hexi.....

 another scrappy hexi....

I did get two hexies made and started another scrappy project as well...this one will be 2" stars....

 All three together....

I was hoping to get more accomplished this week, but with my mom getting sick I just did not have the time...these have been added to the stacks and hopefully I will have more to add to them soon...

A New Flower For The Garden...

Here is another hexi flower finished and one started for my scrappy hexagon quilt...no hurry on this one...I was able to do the one flower late one night while gone and start another one...now that I am home I hope to do more of these each week...if not that is ok too as this is a slow work in progress to use up some scraps...keep those needles stitching,

Hexie Flower Quilt Top

Here is the picture of the kit Terry bought.  

This is what we did with it.  She wanted all the flowers to have the same centers and white hexies around them.  I think it really shows off the hexie flowers this way.  My part is done, now it is up to her to decide how she wants to finish it.  I really like the way it came out.  It was done with the English paper piecing method. It is all sewn by hand.

Row 6

Things have been moving right along.  I finished row 6 this morning.  Now I need to do the 31 white hexies for the last row and across the bottom like the top.  I have the last 3 flowers already finished.  Maybe by the end of the weekend I can get it finished.  Then it goes to Terry so she can finish it any way she decides to.  It was her kit to start with.  I am just putting it together the way she wanted it.

Row 5

Here is row 5 finished.  2 more to go but a lot of white hexies to make before I can finish them.

Row 4

I added row 4 today.  Now I need to make more white hexies for the flowers in the next row.

Row 3

Here is the third row of Terry's hexie flower quilt top I am making for her.  Now I have to make more flowers.

One Flower Wednesday...

This is my flower for the "One Flower Wednesday" ...these little flowers will be completely scrappy and will at some point become a quilt...as I am not in a hurry I will be making these when I have the extra time each week...

More Petals...

More petals have been stitched to paper...this stack is almost finished and then I can start on the next color...I will stitch all the petals then begin putting the flowers together...remember you can join us on our journey of hexi making if you like...just leave a comment letting me know you want to join the blog on the first post and I will add you...
