This one will be a present. The fabrics were from my friend kelly, from the rocky mountain collection.
I used a 1" hexagon template and made a card stock template. I traced that right onto the fabric with a pen and cut them out.
I think the seam is about 1/4", maybe smaller, I am eye balling it;) No paper piecing, just cut and sew, while I watch tv.
This is the main block. Each one will have the lighter green around it. Once those are done, I can get a better idea of the size and shape I want. I fussy cut the outer red hexagons, so the flower is centered as best as possible.
I tried two layouts. This is with points touching.
This is with a more squared off look. Not sure which one I like better? How about you?
This one will just be a small table topper, so not making it too big. I will decide after I go around these two, if I need a third section.
Such cheery colors! Looks like you have a great start on your Christmas runner.
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! Wow! I think I like the second one best.

For me? Really? Ahhhhh... you shouldn't have! LOL! ;-) This is looking great, Debbie! The first layout with points together makes the design look more like two pointsettia's. Which is kinda kewl, I think. You are inspiring me to get my hexagons together into something! ;-) maybe this weekend...
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be so pretty! You're doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteThat is looking really good!! A table runner is a good way to try a technique without comitting to a whole quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI like the second photo layout the best.
Love that fussy cutting - it's a lot more work, but SO worth it!
ReplyDeleteI like the 2nd one best! So pretty
ReplyDeleteI'm with the majority. I vote for the second layout.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
Love your fabrics and the way you fussy cut some. I think I like the first setting better.
