so here I'll show my new little pretty box. I do apologize for not being a better photographer.....
Now here is my 'Petal' collection to date:
This is my little box a Purplish 'Petals' I definitely need more of these, I LOVE purple!
just to refresh the memories of anyone interested: this is a small mock-up of what I'm trying to accomplish.....a color wash perhaps of lite to dark green background hexies with flowers of different colors running throughout. This photo is just a small sample of what I'm trying to make. When I really make the project it will be much larger and go from very light greens to very dark greens gradually across the quilt on the diagonal. I am in the process of amassing as many green 'petals' in all shades of green as I possibly can for extreme diversity and scrappiness. Also what I want is dark flowers on the light green part - medium shade flowers on the medium green part and then light flowers on the dark green part. Oh I sure hope I'm making myself clear, 'cuz I'm not too sure if I am!!

Very impressive! I am overwhelmed by the number hexies you have prepared. I really like your color wash of greens in the background.
What a great collection!
I'm overwhelmed by your collection and your order. I never manage to make many before I sew them together.
Thanks everyone! I do plan to sew some petals together at some point! I have a few already done but thought I needed more variety in my greens.
where abouts do you live?
- cough cough -
if those hexis should disappear it might be me that took them!!
Fabulous : )
love the little covered box too!
Oh now I have to keep my secrets!!! and thanks for the kindnesses!!! the box was real fun and fairly simple to do. I'll be making more - petals and boxes!!!
You see I like to call my petals my 'little treasures' and now my pretty box can be a 'Treasure Chest'......and that makes me a pirate!!! So I'm keeping my whereabouts secret!!!!
Do you cut your fabric by hand or do you have a Go-baby? I just can't believe the amount of prepared hexies you have. Amazing!! Are they all for the same project? Do you always prepared all the petals before starting the project? I am awestruck!!
Chantal,
Yes, I cut the fabric by hand and the paper hexagons that I wrap the fabric around too. I only have the Green Project in mind right now but I have about half a million other ideas blooming in my head. I'm trying to get rid of my scrap bag with hexagons and also collecting green fabrics to build up a very diverse amount of all shades of green. My stash is very large and I'm also trying to cut a bit of each fabric for my hexagons. This is something I do when in the evenings I sit with my husband and watch TV. I see it as a life long way to keep my hands busy. I don't spend any one huge amount of time on it, just little increments at TV time and other times that I find myself waiting for one thing or another. I have a kit for my purse and now my 'Treasure Chest' for home. Also my quilt group meeting twice a week, so I take this along to work on.
Wow! That's a whole lot of petals!
Love the mock-up
Vilken samling hexagoner du gjort iordning! Ser ut att bli något mycket fint av dem!
