Hexies - WIP Update & Scrap Stash Give-Away

Giveaway closed.  Thanks everyone!

This weekend I worked on my Tula Pink hexagon project.  Yay, I'm finally at the point where I'm stitching together the hexagons!

While working on this project, I thought of a great way to celebrate 10,000+ page views: more hexagons!

Last night I went through my scraps, put in a disc of Psych, and started cutting. 

For one lucky person I have 143+, 2.5" squares for some hexagon fun.  My diverse scraps include all types of quilting cottons, including some from my early days (slightly cheaper) to some of my latest projects (Kate Spain, Denyse Schmidt, Moda, Kona & Bella solids).  A great addition to an on-going hexie quilt, or to start a new one :)

Just leave me a comment :)  If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave your email. 

I'll use, the ever-so-trusty, random.org to help me pick the winner.  Give away closes Monday, July 29th at 11:59PM PST.

Linking up to Freshly Pieced's WIP Wednesday.

Playing with Hexagons

I completed my out-of-town assignment for work today!  In celebration I am sitting in front of my design board playing with my Tula Pink hexagons.

Floral hexagon arrangement

I love how fabric the seems to say "I'm ready for my close-up."

Organized by color...

Placement of my hand to give scale to the 99 hexagons... 

I knew in my head that they wouldn't go far, but it's nice to spread them out to get the true sense of scale.  I feel more "justified" (i.e. not as guilty) to buy more of Tula Pink's Prince Charming.   (You can find it on sale here).

I think I'm leaning toward the color gradient.  What do you think?  Or should I try more of a zig zag pattern?  Hmmm....

Hexagons - A Traveling Project

This week brings another long commute to an out of town project for work.  Thankfully, I have my hexagon kit to bring with me and work on at lunch.

For Christmas, I bought myself (yes, I bought myself a gift for Christmas) a hexagon kit from Tula Pink, using her Prince Charming line.  The kit came with pre-cut squares and 100 paper hexagon pieces.

Not sure what I will do with them yet, perhaps a mini quilt?

And a sneak peak at progress on the Sea Glass quilt.  Hopefully I can squeeze in some much needed sewing machine bonding this week.

Oh, and for extra fun, here is my favorite hexagon.  I was able to fussy "position" the hexagon paper piece to highlight the bicycle!
