Slow Stitching #64

Some 5/8" hexi flowers using my batik scraps for the petals, and interesting fabrics for the center.

The red flowers with black center remind me of red poppies.

Slow Stitching #61

Just a few hexi's that I recently completed. The 3 larger ones are 9/16", the smaller one on the right is 7/16", and the bottom 2 rows are 1/2" (8/16").

You don't think that a 1/16" of an inch makes much of a difference, but spread across the 7 hexi's in a flower, there is noticeable size change.

Quiltville Mystery Good Fortune - Week 2

I have finally started working on the 2018 mystery quilt from Quiltville  by Bonnie K Hunter Good Fortune Mystery.

The second week is to make some blue triangle blocks. I've, started, but not made nearly enough.

I'm trying Bonnie's method of using 10" squares and Antler Quilt Design's Mini Folded Corner Ruler to make these half square triangles.  It's allowing me to use up some blue batik 10" squares I had laying around.

Slow Stitching #59

I've been making hexagon flowers for a couple of years, in all sorts of sizes.  Recently the the Kingfisher Stitch-Along started up, using 1" hexagon flowers and appliqueing them on 6" finished 60 degree diamonds. I bumped up my blocks to 7" finished diamonds, so I can use my 1", 1 1/8", and 1 1/4" hexagon flowers.  Also trying combinations of my smaller hexi flowers, here are the 5/8" hexi's in a group of 4:

Here is a small layout on my cutting table seeing how the hexi's will show up against the background flowers.

I have yet to applique the hexi's onto the background fabrics. But I have a design to use my stash of hexi flowers and to make a bed quilt.
