The same ole thing...

As much as I am having fun working on my hexies, I am getting bored posting about them. I hope all y'all aren't as bored reading about them! I hope to get inspired any day now to actually use my Bernina for something other than holding the table down!

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!!!
