Hexagon Flowers

I am trying to get back into some of the things in blogland that I was part of last year because I think it helps to keep motivated on some of those long term projects that I've started.

One of those things is One Flower Wednesday sponsored by Karen at Journey of a Quilter blog.  Karen keeps a sign up sheet for those of us that are working on long term hexagon projects.  I've started hexagons in several different "flavors".  Here are the ones that I just finished:



These are some that I made from an older Civil War line called Cocheco...probably from around 2000.



This is a hexagon project that I would like to make but can't quite decide which fabrics to use.  This quilt is from Quiltmania magazine.

 


Also sometime last year I signed up for a Hexagon Charm Quilt piece along at Texas Freckles blog.  Here is the link to the Flickr group.  There is lots of inspiration here.

So for now I'll just keep making hexagons until I decide on a project.   I hope you are finding some time to do some stitching today.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

  3. You've motivated me to start doing hexagons every week. I'm using 1" papers and appliqueing my hexes to plain 9" squares. Thanks, Deb

  18. Your hexagon flowers are lovely! I want to start another hexagon project, but I need to quilt the first one.
    I love Quiltmania though it is hard to find. I've thought about subscribing through Amazon, but haven't done it yet. THanks for the great links!

  21. Your flowers are great! I've gotten a few flowers done and I've thought about the one flower Wednesday thing. Now that I know this is a long term thing, I might sign up. I enjoy doing these but don't have a definite pattern in mind. After looking at the Flicker group, it has given me a few ideas. Thanks for sharing.
