As for quilting, my first attempt at making a quilt last fall was disastrous! I saw a tutorial for a "Garden Windows" block made with "Echo"..fell in love with it. So I went to http://www.craftyplanet.com/ and bought a TON of fabric and attempted to make a quilt. I did not properly square up the blocks and when I sewed the two groups of 8 blocks together and then attempted to join them, it was a hot mess! One section was 8 inches longer and a few inches wider..YIKES! So, after making that cute mini hexi table runner last week, I decided to rip the quilt top apart, un-pieced all of the blocks and now I'm making a hexi something-or-other..we'll see!
Hexies are something I've not learned how to make yet.
ReplyDeleteI keep learning new things, but for the most part, my quilting is a "hot mess" as you say.
Hexies are fun and fast. You should check out that link to the tutorial from my last post, she has a really great way of putting them together and they never come apart when you remove the template!
