scattered hexies

while on vacation i was hexing when ever i had a moment. in the car, while watching a movie, or just lazing around. i've started making them into little grandmother flowers for a scattered hexie quilt. when i saw ashley's star quilt, i immediately put it on my list of to-do's. and how perfect with hexies!

and yep, no shocker here, as they are in red and aqua! just couldn't help myself. :)

how i travel, with a cute little suitcase!!

my first hexie flower!

i used 1 1/4 size hexies, and for stitching them together i used the whip stitch. for the whip stitch i sewed them really close together and found the stitches didn't show through for the most part.


i still need to stitch this cute one together! do you recognize some of them?? they were from tasha, who made them after my little guy cut some of my hexies; blogged here!! :)


if you are in the hexie mood, heather and i are having sign ups for the {handsome} hexies - the swap! sign-ups are open till sunday the 18th.

  5. Hi Kerri - What size are your hexies? Any chance you can put together bundles of strips of coordinating fabric (maybe 2 1/2" wide?) for hexies for sale on etsy?

  15. So cute, and I love the layout of the quilt. As cute as hexies are, I don't see my self finishing most projects with them, but this, looks adorable and totally possible.
