I've been basting the hexies for my April BOM which is a basket. I think this fabric (tan/gold/maroon) will be stunning.
One of the items that finally came in at the LQS for Hexie Night was a 1" honeycomb acrylic template. Fussy cutting is soooooooo much easier with the templates! I've wanted to make a Patchwork of the Crosses quilt for quite some time but held off until the template came in. Now that it did I've started playing :)
These tone on tone pieces were pretty simple - you can see the gold was fussy cut but it's quite subtle.

| If you don't have a mirror...run right out and get one, they make this project so much easier. |
Next I'm going to fussy cut this awesome paisley fabric.My original plan was to make this quilt in scrappy, bright colors but I really like the red/green/gold/neutral combo so maybe I'll change my mind. Y'all are used to me changing my mind...
I was thinking this curved bit might be nice for the center of my block. Then again, this is the 4th section I thought would be nice and there is so much more to play with. I might need to get more of this fabric!
And just to change it up...these are the cookies I referenced in yesterday's post...they were fiddly and on the sweet side given all the brown sugar for the topping but they are also just as bad as hexies - can't have just one!!!

Loving that lav/gold fabric for the hexies--I need to get back to my project; when we go on a trip in May I plan to bring them along--such a good travel pickup project as they are small and very portable...hugs, Julierose
That red paisley is a great fabric--so much fussy-cutting potential. You DO NEED more, Sarah! (Just call me "Enabler"!!) : )
I never get bored with your hexies!
OMGosh! How cool is that mirror trick?! I love that template -- you'll have so much fun with that!! The cookies look like they'd be a nice tea party addition! :)
how I want that template, does not seem to be available in the UK searched on line last week but will have another look. We never get too much of hexies, can a girl have too many no.
OMGosh! I could have posted the exact same thing. I am also working on my April basket and I ordered the 1" honeycomb so I can start working on Lucy Boston ... and ... I have those mirrors. Oh, but wait. I have no cookies! lol
LOVE that fabric!
Paisley fabrics are fabulous for fussy cutting...so many possibilities! Those cookies look delicious!
