I must have the attention span of a gnat. Instead of finishing the blue wonky blocks that I recently posted about, I went blog hopping and found something else I had to try. I stopped by Lily’s Quilts. She is having a Hex A Long and I was interested in learning about it. On her blog she has several links to hexagon tutorials. So, naturally, I had to go visit. I found a wonderful tutorial on Freshly Pieced that I had to try it. This is the first block I made.
And this is the second one. Each block is completely quilted and bound.
A picture on Lily’s Quilts shows sewing the hexagons together like you would for Grandmother’s Flower Garden. That would be nice for a table topper or place mat or hot pad.
I think I’ll use mine as small mug rugs.
You can get a template on the Freshly Pieced blog. I didn’t do that, thinking I already had the right size. I’m not sure about that as after I made my blocks, I measured my template. If you measure one side it is 1.5 inches and measures 3 inches at the widest point. They were sure fun to make and a great way to use up my scraps.
The Attic Window Quilt Shop will be a vendor at the Grand Haven Quilt Show this Friday and Saturday, July 29 and 30, from 10 – 5 at St. Patrick’s Center. More than 150 quilts will be on display. Admission is $5.
Mark your calendar now for the Fall Shop Hop in Sept. 22-24 and Oct. 1. Call the shop for further details.
