Still Cutting.

I haven't been just cutting one project all this time.  I cut out 4 more hexie flowers, 5 dog pillow cases, and my quilt kit. I'll show you my fabrics for the quilt I'm cutting.  It's a very different choice for me and does not match anything in my house, but I love it! 

The sashing on the other side of the blue was to be the same yellow, but I didn't have enough.  I like the orange though, it adds one more color which picks up the orange in the focal fabric nicely.

Flower Number Three

This flower went together very nicely.  I remembered to pin the fabric to the template so the basting didn't slide and get off center.  

I've been still working at cutting out the last "kit" for the Retreat, but I think I hit a snag there too.  I don't have  enough of one of my fabrics.  One of the pieces is only 42 inches wide, not 44, so it has thrown off all the cutting.  I'm really thinking I won't have enough.  :-(  I'm going to head to the fabric store tomorrow and pick out another color to finish the sashing.  All the 1.5 inch strips and cuts will go in the 1.5 inch box of strips.

Flower Number Two

I had a little trouble with this one.  The fabric kept slipping while I was trying to baste it.  After I'm all done, I set it next to the first one and realized, I forgot to pin the fabric to the template.  No wonder I had problems.  And it's only been 3 days since I did the first one.   I know, I'll get this down yet.

One Flower Is Done!

As promised, a picture of the first flower I have done.  Ta Da!

They are fun to do!  I know every blog I have read where the blogger has done hexies, has talked about how addictive they can be, and now I understand!

My sister-in-law is coming for a visit this weekend, so I may get a little sewing done.  I know I won't get any blogging done.   Have a good weekend.

(This wouldn't post for me this morning, hope it works this time.)
