Dreamy Hexagons part 2

Blog 41



The last time we talked about Dreamy Hexagons, we looked at the fabrics in the quilt kit. Beautiful Kaffe fabrics and shot cottons.




The first step to make the quilt is to cut squares from the shot cottons and use the hexagon papers to make the "Dreamy" hexagons.  I watched the video on CreativeBug. I discovered YouTube has many different video's with different ways to do the same thing.  It's called English Paper Piecing.  I chose to do it the way it was done in the class on CreativeBug.

I thought I'd finish them while on a trip back to Reno to visit my Daughter and my Friends but I had too much fun to get them done.

  Hey, it was a vacation after all.


Once I get all the seven colors of Hexi's made (cute shortcut name for Hexigon's I heard on YouTube)  and whip stitched together, I'll be back to take the next step in part 3.  Stick around, this is going to be a BEA-U-TI-FUL quilt!
