Irresistable

I know I have quilt tops to quilt, that I really shouldn't be adding more to the UFO pile, but I just couldn't resist cutting into these:


Aren't they cute? Meadow Friends for boys prints that have been calling and calling out to me from my fabric shelves. I've chosen my pattern, and taken the rotary cutter to them. A quilt top to show for my efforts coming soon!

On top of that I've added another finished quilt top to the 'To Quilt' pile:


These hexagons have been a LONG time coming. But the recent rainy weather certainly sped things along. Rainy nights = lots of applique. And you can probably tell from the picture : Rainy days = difficult light = crappy photos, ehehe.

I'm sooo tempted to hand quilt this one - but am a little worried that it might be months yet before we see it finished. Having said that, there really isn't a deadline for this, so we'll see.

Until the next time, happy sewing!

aaaaaaaa this is too cute.. I see hexies everywhere (my quilt group on FB are all about Hexies) and it has never even crossed my mind to try them.. they look like too much work.. aren't they..? 1. the lil paper template 2. cut the fabric 3. cover the paper template with the fabric 4. sew them together then take out the paper... gosh I'm confused...
