I was intrigued. Since I'm fairly new to the wonderful world of Hexies I decided it was time to spread my wings and try out a few more shapes. AND it was time for one or two more projects.
So I jumped right in and printed off a sheet of 1" hexies and added a few lines here and there and took away a few other lines until I came up with a 'Jewel' or a modified hexie (as Karen calls them).
Here's a link to one of her posts that explains how she does it. So much simpler than I did. Wish I would have read more of her blog before jumping in feet first. lol
This is a scrap of black/white fabric I used to fussy cut the six jewels.
Now.... let me just say that since I didn't really know what I was doing this first little star was a real stumbling mess. Thankfully I have a wonderful iron that pressed it into submission. lol
After this one I think I will be able to do a better job on the next one.
Cute block - it looks perfect to me!
ReplyDeleteAwww Thanks Ellen. You're very kind. Especially since you can't see it up close. haha
DeleteI agree with Ellen, cute and perfect! Thanks link to the blog and flickr group, so much inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lea. I appreciate your compliment. And you are sooo right about the inspiration.
DeleteHey Linda...I'm trying to resist this one, but your fabrics are gorgeous. You are tempting me...:)
ReplyDeletehahaha I don't know where this will lead but I'm sure glad I at least tried this one. Come on now.... you know you want to. ;-)
DeleteI love your star! Looks like you know what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteThanks. But looks are deceiving. I can say that I do know more than I did before I made this one. That's a good thing. lol
Deletepressed into submission, LOL. Well, use I think any quilter has had to resort to that a time or two in their quilting career! Hopefully it goes better when you try again.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I do love my iron. And a mallet comes in handy at times too. haha
DeleteHave a good day Linda.
