Glorious Hexagons

I am behind in showing off my Glorious Hexagons, Yes I keep working on them.  This has been a sew a long on the internet, but I just did the blocks I wanted to do when I wanted to do them. I by no means kept up and maybe I have done 1/4 of the number of blocks. 

#13 Judy,  love doing this block as it stats out just like the grandmother's flower garden and then to get it back to 6 sides you add the little diamonds on the out edge. 

#11 Susan, great block to show of the 6 repeats. 

#35 Sharon, Love this star block.

#9 Doris, love how it is growing from the center. 

Christmas Quilt Started

1) Nutcracker Ballet fabric, 2) black labs on blue 3) three colours of labs with Christmas on pink

I found a sale on Spoonflower fabric just before Christmas. They had 2 for the price of one Fat Quarters. Spoonflower has so many pretty fabrics and I liked so many of the dog themed fabrics. I had to order some of the fabric. I ordered 10 FQ and here are 3 of the Christmas prints. They were not in my hands till after Christmas but that is OK. I just started my Christmas quilt in early December and have many more blocks to make. 

The Christmas quilt was started when I won the blue penguin fabric from the Leduc guild Christmas party. I just loved it. I also bought more turquoise and the red print, just a sample of what I bought.  

9 patches, this is 3 rows of 3 nine patches. 

So for my Christmas I am making postage stamps blocks. Yes small 2 inch cut squares. I love some squares. I raider all my Christmas fabric and cut a few hundred 2" squares. I also went looking in my stash of 2" water colour square. I found lots in the water colour squares. I used many reds that are not real Christmas but I wanted lots of red so I am using them. 

My first block. It is 9 squares by 9 squares. So the size is 13 1/2".

This one was a little better to sew. I got bit of a system going now. I make rows of 3 squares. Some light dark light L/D/L and some that are D/L/D. Then I make nine patches. Half the nine patches start with light in the top corner and half are dark in the top corner. Then I make three rows of 3 nine patches. 

Planning the sashing too. I really hope I can have this quilt done for this fall. The Leduc Guild is having a quilt show this fall and I would like this to be in the show. 

I bought the backing fabric this past weekend. It was 40% off plus I finished the bolt so got another 5% off. The little foxes are so cute. I will also put a few little foxes on the front in the squares. 

After Christmas my family often does an order from Amazon. We order the stuff we did not get for Christmas. One year we all got cards so the trend started. The order arrived yesterday, I got the New Hexagon Calendar and the colouring book. I am still working on my Glorious Hexagons. Also more power cords and plugs for my phone.  

Soft Hexagons

I have done a few hexagons with my lighter coloured Kaffe Fassett Collection fabrics. 

#8 Marina, With a rose center 

#35 Sharon, it is not cut as well as some of my others. 

#50 Joanne 

This is the first one of this block I have done. It needed 3 diamonds and 3 plus center hexagons. 

#11 Susan

#32 Marilyn, I love the soften for the foxgloves.

Feathers into Hexagons

More 3" hexagons done and ready to show off. I have used the KFC Feather fabric and stacked 6 repeats and then cut out the feather fabric. 

All the patterns for these block come from The New Hexagon Book. 

#11 Susan

#35 Sharon, I love the green apple spots

#3 Sarah

 This block has so much movement. The green mini triangle and the center hexagon are some of my hand dyed fabric. 

#10 Kelly

#35 Sharon  I love the woven strips with this block. 

Pansy Hexagons

I am still working on my New Hexagons. All the patterns for these 3" hexagons are in The New Hexagon Book. All 6 of these blocks were made by stacking 6 repeats of the fabric and then cutting out the units I needed. I love doing this. 

# 9 Doris block

#13 Judy, I think the petals look like little bugs or fairies dancing.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day 

I have done more pieced Hexagons. These two hearts were done with a free Pattern I found from Katja on her Hexagon Quilt a long face book page.  

I have had a great weekend. First on Saturday I took Gemma to a Fun agility trial. We had fun playing and visiting with our friends. Then in the evening I had a fundraiser casino to go to. 

Look what I won. The grand Prize a new Iphone. Crazy lucky me. 

Today I did a bit of work, made cookies and hung out. Now to have a great supper. 

Design Wall Monday Jan 18th

I have 2 blocks done from the Alletaire Mystery. I did change my colours from Bonnie's Red and gold. I worked most of Sunday on my units so that I can do more blocks. 

I also have been doing more hand piecing. I have 6 more blocks from The New Hexagon. I am kind of following along with 2 quilt a longs. I am posting some blocks on the Katja Marek's Fussy Cut facebook group.  Then I am also planning to do the Glorious Hexagon quilt a long.  

Some yard dyed strip fabric. I am trying to get this post up so I am just not going to worry about what # the block is or the name. The book is not at my side. Maybe I will up date the post later. Edit Block #10 Kelly

The same block but different fabric. block #10 Kelly

Large Diamonds Black #6 Dolores

The pansy fabric in the center. I think I was planning the blue fans to go the other way but it is ok. I got a star around the pansy. Block #8 Marena

Wow is January more then half done already. I am hoping winter flies by quickly too.
