I thought I would try where I had bought the previous glace dessert roll, Jemimas. I thought I had bought the last one but they had another one! Lucky me. I zipped round after work and picked it up. I couldn't wait till after tea to cut and sew the borders on. Now it just needs to be quilted. I have backing and wadding to do this so that is the next job on my list.
I also started the binding for my Tisket Tasket quilt that I finished quilting on the weekend. That should be done this week. Woo Hoo!
I also had to finish some hexie flowers for my swap partner this month. She likes modern fabrics, which I must admit are not fabrics I use or would know to buy so I hope these will look modern enough. I couldn't resist fussy cutting the hexagons in the pattern. I think I need to make myself some for my scrappy garden.

They look awfully modern to me. I have the same problem - my bits and pieces are very conservative looking. I particularly like the way you've done the darker hexie. Very clever the effect of matching up those stripes. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks wonderful! Love the fussy cut hexagons. Hexagons are still on my to-do list. Lol, I'll have to stop planning and start doing I think!
ReplyDeleteOh wow... it looks great... it's all worth getting the right fabric....
ReplyDeleteClever pants with the hexies....
