Recently I have been pulling out some old projects and working towards finishing them.
Today I am revisiting my One Flower Wednesday project. In 2010 I started making hexagon flowers with Karen of Journey of a Quilter. At the end of 2010 I had 21 one inch hexagon flowers made from Liberty Tana lawn fabric. I had lots of fun fussy cutting all those fabrics. It has taken me quite a while to get them back out and find a background fabric.
Here they are appliqued on to a piece of linen.
I decided the layout needed something extra, so I have made 10 more hexie flowers. I used the same fabrics as before, but fussy cut some of them from different sections of fabric. I love the pansies on the bottom hexie. :) I plan to use these 5/8 inch hexagons with vines and leaves in 2 corners.
I am still deciding on how to arrange them.
There are still lots of leaves to be made also.
While we are speaking of Liberty fabrics, look what just arrived this afternoon!!
A small selection from the Liberty Lifestyle collection - Bloomsbury Gardens.There are 55 fabrics in the whole collection: 11 designs in each of 5 different colours. These fabrics came from here. The fabrics are a typical patchwork fabric weight with new Liberty designs. I am looking forward to playing with them! :)
It has been a while since I posted any photos of flowers from my garden. Here are some to finish up.
Violas and lobelia planted with spring flowers bulbs and below the first miniature daffodil.
Great flowers; all kinds of.... ;)
ReplyDeleteBut I think I still love the heacagon-floewrs most.....
Enjoy today!
Your liberty hexagons are beautiful Miriam, so lovely the way you've fussy cut them, it really adds something special. And I like your choice of linen as a base, this piece will be one to treasure.

ReplyDeleteWell done Miriam on re-visiting your hexagon flowers, they do look gorgeous appliqued to the background fabric! The idea of having some in the corners will look great. i look forward to seeing how you progress it...
ReplyDeleteSometimes pulling out an old project is like meeting up with an old friend. Your hexagons flowers are so pretty. I love how they look on the linen.
ReplyDeleteYour spring flowers look like they belong on those gorgeous Liberty fabrics. Have fun with them!
Love that liberty fabric! Looks like you're making good progress with your hexagons. Deciding on settings is one of the hardest parts for me -- Good Luck!
