One Flower Wednesday

It's been a while since i've posted about my hexies. I have been working on & off on the hexies for the Vignette hexie quilt but this week i worked on something different.
I recently saw this as a quilt on a blog & really liked it. I used my 1" hexies for it. I'm still deciding whether to add more hexies in whit around it or just applique it to a background. To see more hexies on one flower Wednesday visit Karen .

Happy Stitching

Love your butterfly. Have you decided what you're going to make with it?

Anthea said...

I made a couple of butterflies last fall and have not found a home for them. But I will! Judith, Texas

Oh my...this is so beautiful...you're so clever!

I spotted a quilt like this a while ago too and have been tempted to give it a go, but I would still like to make a flower one as well... choices, choices.

Karen said...

Very pretty, how nice they would look in a flower garden quilt!

How cute! Another great way to use the hexies.

Maria said...

WOW your butterfly is gorgeous. Will make a great quilt..

Such a pretty design, but I'd think it tedious to sew same-print hexies to one another. Good for you to be tackling this one!

My first thought is always, more is better. That of course gets me into lots of trouble;-) Just one would look lovely as a pillow or hanging on the wall. Look forward to seeing what you do with the lovely and unique butterfly.

I made that same pattern given to me by Judy Williams over at the Rockport Quilt Show earlier this year. My color fabric was in black and yellow. I made a smaller version. I have yet to find a home for them. So I have them pin on my project board. I love your butterfly and beautiful fabric. Thanks for sharing...Judith, Texas

#4 Chookshed Stitchers Challenge.

 At the start of March i had this pile of blocks. I couldn't get my head around how to turn all these differing block sizes into a quilt...
