Since finishing my swap blocks, I've been doing a bit of this and that
and not really much of anything! :-)
I did get my August BOM block done for the HGTV message board sew along~
This year I am doing my blocks in B&W, with grey and red.
This block was called Ruins of Jericho, but when I spied
that 6 inch center, I just had to add a star. :-) LOL
I also caught hexie fever! :-o
But this time I am making bigger hex's. Instead of cutting around each one, I made my templates with a double layer of freezer paper. They press nicely to the fabric, and are firm enough to hold on to.
When I'm ready to stitch the seam allowances down, it is just a quick snip of the 4 corners and my
hex is ready. Little waste, and not trying to rotary cut and create big waste. ;-)
I think I like the larger size! ;-)
What are you working on?
Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!

I LOVE that block!!!! It looks fabulous.
The bigger hexies should go together faster too. Have fun with them.
hexies sure are wild aren't they - everyone gets addicted at some time or another
Great block. I resisting the hexie urge for the moment. DOn't know how long I'll be able to hold out though xx
So you've got hexie fever too!!!! Now I am curious as to what is going to come out of this escapade!!! You can take them with you when you do things outside of the house so maybe this is the attraction!! Have fun making these. No, I will not be joining you!!! :-)
I like the block. Love that red in the center. Adds a nice pop of color.
