My new project - A Rose Garden

My hexagon quilt has been finished for a while and is now displayed in our entrance hall

So it was time to move onto a new paper piecing project.

It may not look like it but this one is Hexagons

and this is my first block

If you are interested

There is a tutorial here.

and an inspiring Flickr group here

I am looking forward to my Rose Garden growing :o)

A Friday "HEXAGON" Finish

I have to admit that I have neglected the laundry to get this one over the finish line but I am glade that I did as I am so pleased with how it has turned out and take two worked like a charm :o)

 

I cut away the white fabric at the back like what was mentioned in Vignette.

This made the quilting process easier, unlike my first attempt :o(

Finished Size is 56" Square

With this finish there will be another beginning ............ With the help of my "Go Baby" I am going to make another!  This time a little smaller. The hexagons will only be 1" cut so about 3/4" finished.  I haven't started yet but I have ordered the hexagon papers :o)

I am off now to catch up in the Laundry so I can then go and get another project across this finish line.

 

If you would like to see some more photos they are on my BLOG HERE.

 

Enjoy your weekend,

Second time around

I'm going to try again.

Some may remember that I have already tried to quilt this one once before and it all got caught up and in a huge mess that I pulled out all the quilting and put it away safely for a while.  Well I had it hanging on the side of my cabinet but I have now pulled off and have decided to give it another go.

After my last attempt



It's been hanging like this for the last couple of months.

Plan this time around ...... a little machine quilting around the "flowers" and a little hand quilting in the centres. Once this is done I will decide if I want to go with the lines like Leanne has done with hers in Vignette.

I found a cute Pink spot fabric for the backing this time around.

Wish me luck!

Enjoy your creativity,

Sharon
