Only a little to report this week!! Here's is today's bloom....pretty in pink.
I've also finally worked out how to put mine together (with a little help from my latest Quiltmania magazine). I will sew three white hexies to the top of each flower like this—
— then I can shuffle the flowers around and join them up as the colour combinations dictate.I've also decided to join them in sets of just 4 for now; so that as I introduce new fabrics they can be scattered throughout the quilt, rather than clustered together because the first fabrics used are already joined up (if that makes sense!!).
Below is the latest on my 'pretties-hexieflowers'... I think I promised a few weeks ago to show you the finished article...can't do that yet sorry, but I will get there!!

That is a clever idea about sewing your flowers into groups .... I know what you mean about shuffling them around so that you get an overall look. Your garden is growing ever so nicely!
ReplyDeleteThat is a clever way of putting them together. It will be just lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love them all but especially todays flower.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea!~I'd not thought of this. I really love your cheerful flowers and can't wait to see more! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for joining the hexies. Can't wait to see them finished.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you are putting your hexies together. It will look wonderful when finished.
ReplyDeletehay way cool - I have decided to do a scrappy cream path - so it was neat to see your way of doing three to the top & then making a set of four blooms. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteTa Love Leanne
That seems like a great idea to put your hexies together , and such pretty blooms you have .Can't wait to see the finished project you are working on , looks sweet .
ReplyDeleteI must go and look in my latest Quiltmania, what a wonderful idea to make just three light ones on top of the flowers.,, Raewyn. Good to make just four flowers in a set.
ReplyDeleteAnd your pretty hexies quilt looks so lovely, the colors are very sweet. I love to see it finished.
Love, Cisca
Raewyn, How inspired! Thanks for the wonderful tip... I wasn't thinking of adding a pathway, but this might make me reconsider...
ReplyDeleteBy the way your flower is a cutie!
And you quilt... double-swoon!
:)
Love the way you are putting your hexies together.
ReplyDeleteI used the purple version of today's pink flower. great idea for joining your garden together. I haven't decided whether to do a path or just all together. I am afraid of running out of what ever fabric I choose to do the path!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a very clever way of putting them together!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I really like the pretty hexies quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove your hexagons, espcially the ones you have appliquéd into a quilt! Beautiful work!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you have used with these ones and they look so pretty...the background fabrics are so lovely...I love how you have done them. I am enjoying looking at your blog and all you have done is really lovely :)
