Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 15 ~ Hexagon Flowers Quilt

 

Welcome to Week 15 ~ Stitch Sew & Show

I have been getting back to my sew-at-home fun this week.

My first focus was my 

My Post for the In the Kitchen Stitchin' Blog Hop

I am looking forward to visiting all of today's links.

I love to make useful things from my stash

and there is sew much creativity.

I have also picked up and old project and made a plan.

While I was away I hand sewed more hexagon flowers using this 

"Not Your Grandmother's English Paper Piecing" method for making my hexies:

Tuna Can Hexagon Flowers by Cindy Prince @ Q&N

Cindy is a one of my first online quilty friends. 

When she posted this tutorial in 2009, I had never even considered EPP.

These easy folded hexagons are so relaxing to sew.

No papers. 

At some point I learned to EPP and put these aside.

I think I thought they were "not good enough." 

I know the EPP Quilt Police may not approve.

When I compare the ones I sewed using this folded method

 to the ones I have made with papers, 

I believe they are just "as good" if not better. 

I am now happily sewing more "Tuna Can Hexagon Flowers" 

and have fabrics and a plan for a quilt!

I have long admired the colorful quilts that I have seen in the 

Kingfisher Stitch-Along @ Stitched in Color 

and will be making my own version of this with my hexagon flowers. 

I am going to cut some diamonds today and start my quilt!

What are you working on today?

Please share in my linky party. 

Thanks to all who join in the fun!
