Last month I was again looking at my scraps and leftovers from other projects- I keep my leftover fabrics together for a while before putting them in a scrap bin, this way everything goes together already and might end up in another project.
Here I had some 10″ squares from Michael Miller left over and decided to use the tiny 1″ half hexagons from the hexagon die
I had some solid white leftover as well and decided on a hexagon flower garden
It’s hard to judge how big it will be, EQ told me 20″ but that wasn’t quite right at the end, but this is the layout I came up with.
When sewing rows together that are all different, I always use this method, first I sew 2 and 2 together on row one, then press, then sew 4 and 4 together on that row and 2 and 2 together on the next row, then press, then it’s 8 and 8 on row 1 and 4 and 4 on the next then 2 and 2 on the 3rd row and continue that way, this is row 4. – it shrinks quite a lot!
I pressed the seams open on the back
The top ended up being 15 1/2″ x 14″
In QCT I used a wavy design and made it really close and tiny and added a striped binding.
the back was a FQ in grey plaid I had laying around.
It was fun and tiny!
Have you tried this die? I’ve used the larger hexagons but not this one before.
This is sew cute! But OMG those are tiny, good thing you had the die but still I am sure it was a bit of a pain because of the size.
