HeLP for Hexie-ologists - 8/17/19

Happy Hexie Saturday!

Just a quick update on a couple projects I’ve worked on during the fair.


Finishing 3 blocks doesn’t look like much but I also prepped a lot of the pieces for the remaining blocks.

It’s a good thing I posted this pic cuz it wasn’t until I typed the above sentence that it clicked that I need 5 blocks and not 6. Geesh that was close.


I also finished this quilt, pulled the papers, pressed them and put them away. Now to pick a backing. I’ve eliminated 1 of the 3 shown and was leaning towards one but Chantal is leaning towards the other. Which would u pick & why?

And now it’s your turn! Please link to your hexie project in the comments below. Any vintage project, paper shape or construction method counts.

  1. Are you paper piecing that first project? It looks so cute!
    Colorwise, I think the center fabric matches up best, but I am really liking the little turtles for the backing. Sorry, kitties. :(
    I actually have a photo of my hexie project in my last post.

  3. My pick is the center fabric as well. What is the block size for your kaleidoscope piece? I have a kaleidoscope I started many years ago, but I was hand piecing it and didn't like how it was coming out.

  5. I love the colours on the top design! For the bottom one, I'm leaning towards the bottom fabric (although the right one is very pretty, but the center colours are a better fit). The kitties are cute too, but too 'busy' as a backing for my taste.
