Except little hexagons are actually adorable. And fussy cut hexagons are even more adorable. And what a perfectly non-boring way to use scraps... and cutting them up is easy with, say, a Sizzix die-cutter. I mean they practically make themselves, right? Right?
It really is the perfect project for sewing on the go. Two weekends hosting old friends and then a wonderful weekend at a "summer camp themed wedding" took me away from my sewing machine, but my trusty little English paper piecing kit was able to come right along with me. Stitching during a long car ride? Yes. Paper piecing by the lake? Double yes.
In all honesty I started this project months ago, but I've never blogged about it. My plan is to make a coordinating pillow for my Good Fortune Quilt and Rainbow Window Pillow. It sure is slow going, but I am making progress. The only problem? It looks great, until I zoom out and see how much more I have left to do!
Ah well. Slow and steady, right?
Linking up with WIP Wednesdays at Freshly Pieced ... because this one is sure to be in progress for quite some time!
The colour palette is so beautiful! Love those little fussy cut swallows and bees.
ReplyDeleteThank you, wipgirl! I feel like aqua is my answer to *everything* lately, but glad to hear that you're not bored with it yet :)
DeleteI too love the color palette. Inspires me to try my hand at it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. You definitely should give it a whirl, but like Marcella said... be careful! They really can be addicting. Happy stitching!
DeleteSo beautiful! Careful though, those hexagons are really addicting.
ReplyDeleteToo true, Marcella. Too true!
DeleteGorgeous. I love the fussy cuts. They are definitely addicting.
