Its been a while since I last posted. Lots going on, busy at day job, fun summer with my grow-kids. Our youngest just left the nest.. the house is eerily quiet and I need to direct my thoughts somewhere, so back to blogging and making!
I took a charm pack on holiday with me and ended up with some hexie flowers. Best thing about using 1 inch hexie papers, they require a 2.5 inch square if your not fussy cutting making them fast and easy and no need for a template. I cut a charm pack in half (put one half aside for later) and used the other half to cut into 2.5 inch squares. I got 10 hexie flowers. When I got home I decided to sew them onto blocks, I used 7x7 inch squares.
Now I had the other half pack to do. I wanted to change it up a bit and found 1 1/4 inch pentagons also use 2.5 inch squares nicely as well. I'm currently working on these and sewing into 7x7 inch squares. These take 1 less 2.5 square as there are only 6 pentagons to a flower, so I'm going to make 10 and re-evaluate.
I have yet to figure out what I am going to do with them.. but this is a start.
Happy Stitching!
