Spring Hexies

                                          


We finally got a fabric shop in town. We used to have a fabricland may moons ago, but they really aren’t modern by any means. Oh Look Fabric is not only an awesome name, but Andreas put together and amazing shop.  Modern fabrics, embroidery kits, local made crafts.. it’s a little piece of heaven. 

I picked up an array of spring prints and happily went to work. Lots of Dresden’s and hexagons. This is the first piece. Best thing about English paper piecing is fussy cutting. Picking out all those sweet images and sewing them together.





I made some half hexies to fill in the top and bottom gaps.  Trimmed the sides to make them straight.





 Hand stitched between them all so they would puff out





Sewed to an envelope style back.
Soooooo sweet!
