I have decided that it is much better fun to start something new, than it is to actually finish it. That is my new plan - just do what I like, and maybe one day I will get it finished. So, don't hold your breath on this one!

Hexagon Flowers
I started to make the hexagon flowers. The first lot I used papers that were 1" along the straight side. I thought that would be the right size. Well, it isn't. I did the next lot at 3/4" and it looks much better. Who would think 1/4" would make that much difference in the overall size? Well it certainly does. I will find another home for the two oversized flowers - may turn them into a pin cushion. Good idea?
here are the first 4 of the correct size along with the 2 that are too big. I like the fabrics in the first two, so will use them again. They are all 1800's reproduction fabrics.

That is quite a difference for such a small adjustment!
ReplyDeleteI like your new plan. I never could understand quilters who could start a project and drive through to the end before starting something new. I admire them, but I can't understand them. ;-)
You have a terrific start!!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised at how much 1/4" made with these blocks. I do like the smaller ones better. They are so cute!!
