I'm going to post a picture of the diamonds I have finished but not added to the quilt yet. I laid them on the floor just to get an idea. This is NOT the final layout since I still have many many more combinations yet to finish. But at least this will give an idea to my plan.
I really need to get back in the groove of working on these whenever I have a spare minute. Instead of blog hopping and dreaming of 'to-make quilts'. That fabric doesn't sew itself!!
I'm linking to a couple of blogs this morning. Kathy's "
Slow Sunday Stitching" ..... and ..... Splish Splash Stash "
In Hand EPP". Come join me to check out some of the great projects other quilters are working on.
I hope you're having a great day.
Glad you stopped by.....Linda
Beautiful work! Looks like you are using english paper piecing or plastic templates. The colors look wonderful together. Enjoy your Slow Sunday Stitching!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra. Yes I'm using 1" paper templates. I love every part of basting and sewing hexies.
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
This is beautiful. I so admire those who EPP - I can make a little single flower for embellishing, but the thought of a whole quilt - eeekkk!
ReplyDeleteHaHaHa I don't think about the 'whole quilt'. It's just like eating an elephant .... one bite at a time. So I work on one diamond at a time. I love that it gives me something to do with my hands instead of sitting mindlessly in front of the TV in the evening.
DeleteThanks for the nice compliment and I'm glad you stopped by.
That's a good effort. Keep sewing. No distractions.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. I worked on a couple of hexie projects last night and It feels good.
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Have a great day.
Isn't it unfortunate that the fabric doesn't sew itself :) But then the challenge of the sewing is part of the satisfaction... Your quilt is looking great!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Janet. There are sure times I wish it would sew itself. Especially those really big quilts. haha
DeleteBut then what would be the fun in that.
Glad you came by and I hope you have a wonderful day.
that is such an unusual way of putting the hexies together, but so effective. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deborah. I'm enjoying picking out the different combinations for each diamond.
DeleteI hope you're having a great day and thanks for stopping by.
I have not seen hexies together like this...love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb. And thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI love the diamond hexi settings. They are so effective !!
ReplyDeleteThanks Biscuit. Love your name. ;-)
DeleteHave a super good day and thanks for dropping by.
I love this hexie arrangement! Such a bold visual. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle. And thanks for stopping by.
DeleteBeautiful sparkly diamonds! Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way with words you have Kathy. Thanks
DeleteLove it. Are you familiar with this blog http://hillbillyquiltshop.blogspot.com/ . check out all of the Ahhs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. And no I'm not familiar with that blog. I'll go check it out. Thanks for the link.
DeleteI know too well the allure of looking at what everyone else is doing and not working on my own projects enough! I hope you're having fun playing with the arrangements and get some more work done in what ever spare time you can find, too. thanks for linking in with "in hand"!
ReplyDeleteI did manage to grab a few hours this weekend to get some more basting done. Now back to my machine today to get some more blocks made for the A & B Wedding quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
