Hexagons with mylar templates

I have been searching for some hand work to do at my little quilt group that meets every Tuesday evening.......

Several weeks ago I ran across a blog post that made me want to try hexagons.....

Lots of people are doing them and I had not had an interest until I read a blog post at

the scrappy appleyard

where she did a tutorial using mylar templates...

and John'aLee sells them so I ordered some and the photo above shows some I did with

scraps of fabric by Kate Spain.......

they aren't sewn together yet....just basted on the back.....

I tried using paper templates first but I prefer using the mylar.....

 

I was thinking tonight I haven't finished anything in January....

BUT I have started some new things....

and I wanted to share these hexagons.....

I have also started following a quilt along at the same website...

Rancher's Daughter Quilt Along.....

come join us....it will be fun!!

Smiles and hugs....Caryl

Quilt Guild Demos

In my last post I talked about one of the demos from quilt guild this month. Five of our members volunteered to do a demo instead of having a guest speaker for the month. The five are listed here: Keychain... Mile-a-Minute... Easy Triangle Tool... Great Flying Geese... English Paper Piecing... There were tables set up with chairs around for each demo teacher. They had a timer of about 10 minutes for each and then we moved to the next. It was very organized moving from table 1 to 2 etc... Those starting at 2 went to 3 next etc... Sorry...no photos...I will try to do some of the projects and show later. And I didn't get my FMQ challenge done this month.... it is the first month I have missed for the year... I will get back to quilting... Smiles and hugs....Caryl
