Hexies In The Guest Room....

Same fabrics on the pillow as were used in the quilt.  I must have known that there would be a use for those scraps someday.  

My fiber artist blog friends have been posting photos and projects of the most creative uses of fabric and arrangements for making hexies.....very old technique with a very modern touch.  I love it....

Hexies.....

Film In The Fridge is making hexagons....hexies.  She made a ton of them,  gave some away then came up with this idea!

Then I got an invite to join a Flickr Group called Handsome Hexies  (a group where you post photos and exchange information about the adorable hexie and what you can do with them).   Before accepting,  I went digging around my sewing room for a old project I had started but gave up on.   There they were..... a ton of templates and reproduction fabric left over from a whirlygig quilt that is in our guest room.  Okeydokey....I am good to go!  I join the group.  My project will be to make a couple of pillows like Ashely did to go with the quilt.  My guest room will look pretty spiffy!
