March Crazy Quilt Journal Project

I really had fun doing this block, not sure what it will look like when joined to whatever goes next.  I've done a rough sketch of each block, with three categories of colour/pattern,  1- blue sky, 2- water and 3- garden then  put the sketches into a bag.  I'm taking one out in the last week of each month to piece ready to embellish in the following month.  Fabric is potluck.  I just put whatever I thought would work together into a big bag, if the sketch says blue or garden then thats whats used,  the last two blocks are actually to go side by side. I'm having to resist the urge to sew them together as I haven't decided if I'm going to add a sashing between each one or butt them together then embellish the seam,  there are some lovely blocks on the Crazy Quilt Journal Project if you haven't been there yet then you really must go and have a look around, its well worth a visit.

Hexagons of Scraps

hexagons of scraps

I made my first hexagon quilt when I was 6 yrs. old. Well it never got to be a quilt but it did  become a cushion cover that was used until it disintegrated.   I have probably made several million hexagons in many sizes but really like the 2 ½ cm (1"), as it fits nicely into the scrap that doesn't quite make it to a 6 cm (2 ½") square.  Well the scraps were starting to mount up so I  started on another UFO project,  these really are scraps and I don't want to make the usual grannies garden so for now will just make hexagons until I have enough to sort into colour groups, will see were it will go then. A self propelling  mystery.
