Hexagon Progress and a New Tutorial!

Happy Wednesday!

First I am excited to share that I am guest posting over at Young Texan Momma today!  I am sharing a Dr. Pepper mini quilt tutorial!  It uses some of the no-sew adhesive to do some raw edge applique.  Head on over :)


Also, I am happy to report that I finished stitching my Tula Pink hexagons over the weekend!  Forgive the snap-happy photos...







Now I get to applique them onto a nice neutral background before adding them to a quilt.  A tan that allows all that Tula Pink awesomeness to shine.  Then I took a picture with one of the "accent" corals I was trying to match... thoughts?






I don't think I quite got it right, but am wondering if it will be ok? Perhaps not to matchy-matchy?  Or just too intense?


Linking up to Freshly Pieced's WIP Wednesday :)

    Wow those hexies are fabulous. The Tula Pink fabric is just perfect and I vote for a tan background to make the printed fabric stand out.

    Gorgeous hexies! And great mini! I think the tan as a background would look great! My SIL is doing hexies with Tula Pink fabric and can't wait to see it finished!

    I love hexes... and I like your choices... mostly because they are different than mine. Can't wait to see it completed. Awesome job.

    Great looking hexies! Tan or something lighter so the hexies stand out. Your little I'm a Pepper is so cute!

    I think they look nice. I do like the idea of the tan as the background, but perhaps you could incorporate the coral as nice thinner border around the main panel of hexies. Draws attention to the coral in them, yet not detracting from what could be a very busy image. Great job doing all those hexies tho!

    Beautiful colours in the Tula Pinks! I think the matching coral looks great but sometimes one can't see subtle shade differences in photos.
