I am not sure how many flowers I have made so far... below are the finished flower blocks I have done - 1 with the white surround.
Complete hexagon flowers ready to piece together |
I have many more in various stages of construction and lots of fabric cut and hexagons tacked. No fabric has been repeated, so each flower is different.

I have been thinking of doing some different types of EPP - I am particularly inspired by the fussy cutting of fabrics for the Lucy Boston blocks that are quite popular at the moment. Think I might have a go at these sometime soon... but back to some of these unfinished BOM. 2015 is the year of trying to complete some of these...
I made a hexie quilt for my daughter many years ago - it took me 7 years to complete it. I love hexies and hand piecing but have them all on hold while I try to reduce the UFO pile!
ReplyDeleteI think this will be the only hand pieced quilt I make.... it is taking a long long time.... but I am enjoying the process and love finding fabrics to go with it.
DeleteHi Alexandra, welcome to blogging! I came to yours from the Stitch-A-Long blog...
ReplyDeleteOh you're a woman who shares an interest of mine... I love to do EPP too, & I'm going to be doing more of it this year than I managed last year...
I'm sure you'll find blogging to be fun, you'll make some great cyber-friends, & real ones too... plus find lots of inspiration...
My brother lives in Cairns but I've never been there... one day maybe...
Bye for now!
Hi Anthea, You'll have to make a trip to Cairns to visit your brother... just dont come until the dry season... you'll melt like a snowman at the moment. Very hot and humid! I hope to do some more EPP this year as well.. have seen some lovely things on blogs lately.. very inspirational.
DeleteLoving the hexie look!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, yes I love the look as well and want to make some smaller things with hexagons this year - pincushions and needlecases for my market stall.
