 I enjoyed hand piecing this while traveling in cars, planes and ships.  Pattern and fabric by Tula Pink.

Snowflake report

Second round is finished. It´s totaly  263 hexies, it means 136 new ones from last week. I like the result, it could be repeated as a big block, but my pattern needs one more blue row.

My June hexies

A bit late, this is a report on my hexies made in June.

This month I managed to sew four stars.

My La Passion passed 2400 hexagons, and I'm so happy with this. Just now we are more that 250 persons from around the world sewing Grit's pattern.

Six more butterflies joined the others on this half hexie quilt.

This miniquilt is a summer work, and it got four new flowers in June. The hexagons are 1/4", really tiny.

You can always find more about these hexie projects on my blog.

It is coming together

Here is the progress of my hexagon quilt. I decided to start putting my diamonds together.  I have about 13 diamonds, several center flowers, and several small rows of cream all ready to be sewn into this quilt. 

Snowflake report

Her I am with my Monday report. I managed to make 90 hexagons (10 behind my limit). The fabrics is a special cotton with the shiny pattern in the waves. We call it Damask here and it ´s often used for bed linen. Not very good for hand piecing, but I have plenty bought by weight at our local shop. The pattern is from pinterest and it´s Koch snowflake curves. Puce science, I think :). See you next week, I´m cutting next ones.

Hexagon Pincushion Tutorial

If you haven't visited Bonnie Hunter's site, you have missed lots of good quilt patterns, books and ideas. Many of them are free, such as the hexagon pincushion I've linked here. Bonnie's pictures make her tutorials easy for any level of quilter to follow. This tutorial is not about how to do the hexagons, but about how to make the pincushion. That's okay, we all know how to make the hexagons, right?

Bonnie mentioned in her post that they would make great mug rugs, too. I'm sure you can think of many ways to use hexagons made into blocks like this. Have fun, and investigate all the other wonderful things on Bonnie's site, too.
