After seeing Bonnie Hunter's hexie quilt that she calls "Lady in Waiting" in person, I was anxious to try English Paper piecing myself. Here's a link to the work in progress on her website: Lady in Waiting. Pictures do not do that quilt justice and I had the good fortune of seeing the finished top. That is a BUNCH of hexies!!
I decided I would do 1" hexies and ordered a set of 2.5" strips of the fabric line Home Front from Connecting Threads to use for my new project. It came last week and on Friday, I quickly cut some of the strips up in to 2.5" squares. It's bright colors so I went with a solid black to use for a background.
So far I'm addicted to making these little things! I even took them with me today to quilt class to sew a few before we got started!
I can't wait to sew some together into rosettes!!
