I have been sick all week, so not much sewing. I made up my mind about background fabric for my Hexie Block of the Month quilt. I am going to use a Tonga Batik called Ink, it is a dark blue black and definitely one of my favourite dark batiks. The new snowflake block is a light blue batik with silver snowflakes and fern type leaves. I also sewed together the April block in brown-ish oranges.

I have done about 1 more row on 'Not Your Grandma's Garden', so no picture this month.
As well, housecoats for my daughter and my niece are about 75% done. Just have binding around the front and hems, and 1 sash to make. Totally doable in an hour if I manage to get down and do it without helpers.
Lastly, my friend who I am sewing the Bento Box quilt for came over and we arranged all the small blocks into a very scrappy layout. I will sew them all into big 4 patch blocks then rearrange again to make sure we have color placement right.

| Half the blocks, final layout will be 6x7 large blocks, I just don't have space to lay that many out at once. |

I'm a little slow....now that you show each block I can see that it's going by the seasons and the holidays for the blocks......and I am assuming that they will then be appliqued on to a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea!
I love your little hexies! That background really makes them pop, too
ReplyDeleteYour hexie pieces are cute. I love the Bento Box! I must try that pattern some time.
ReplyDeletethose hexie blocks are so fun! Great colors for the Bento Box.
ReplyDeleteLove your hexieBOM blocks in batiks. I am still struggling to decide on a background so good for you to have chosen a great fabric already.
