piece and love hexathon

Thanks for the love my friends.

My self esteem ebbs and flows...

your nice comments keep me buoyant. 

I've been feeling so uplifted with all this sunshine,

I want to bottle it up in a cheerful patchwork project.
This is a non quilt project ie. it can be a tablecloth, curtains or whatever needs a splash of patchwork!

 I know though... not another hex-a-long right?

After the success of the rose star block party

(which is still going strong)

I wanted to keep things simple, so more people might be snared enticed!

Plus these hexagons are biggies man!

(see the normal sized hexagons on the right)

 I've been wanting to make a pretty table cloth

ever since I displayed my quilt on the dining room table last year.

 This was my next to do project,

so why not make it a friendly group of piece and love.

The idea is to keep this as carefree as possible.

You will not need 

wadding

designer fabrics

(but if you have a stash use it!)

binding

You will need 

some vintage/old bedding/old fabrics

(try charity/thrift shops)

paper hexagons

(mine are 2" each side)

a backing fabric

a table to cover
elbow grease

and

some captured moments in your week..

..be it, sat on a train, in your lunch break or in the park.

I'd love to see your progress,

if you would like to join in or just follow

pop over here

I will be posting the basic technique of paper piecing again next week...

as if you don't already know!!!
