Scrap Happy October

marking time

 still adding a hexie flower to the window every week – each Monday morning

it is interesting to see how such a deliberate and physical observation has affected my awareness of time

number 33 – you can just see them through the reflection

because I’ve never made a quilt or stitched hexies I needed to figure out how these were all going to go together

so I started to make extras

and then stitch them together

 now I have a hexie wreath with seven flowers and a border – 15inches/38cm. across

if they go together as a nine patch I would need 63 individual flowers 

already there are almost enough for five in the window

plus the trial one above

and another half finished

there will need to be a small star shape to join the wreaths

when I figure out exactly how to make them they may start going in the window

and then the borders pose a problem as I’m not sure there are enough plain coloured fabrics in the stash

oh, gee whiz!

when I started this whole hexie thing I had no idea where it would take me

please excuse my rambling – my brain is having trouble putting all this together
