Block 55 - Linoleum
Block 88 - Star of Hope
Block Total: 80
And because I was on a roll, I put together a couple more of the rail fence blocks. I need to make a total of 99 blocks, and I think I've made 36 now ... getting there :-)
It's fun playing with all the reproduction squares of fabric I got from Somerset Patchwork & Quilting. It's possible that I may run out of the 10" squares before I'm finished, so I'll have to attack my stash ... *horror*
And here is a little something that I've been working on over a couple of months. I know ... not much to share for that amount of time, but these are the paper pieced hexagons that live in my handbag. I finally finished the second row last night while visiting with Lizzy, and I'm now thinking about what fabric to use for the next round.
This project was inspired by one I saw at the AQC in Melbourne. I really wish I knew who made it - if anyone knows who made the lovely hexagon quilt in reproduction fabrics, please let me know :-)
Who would have thought that hexagons would be so addictive, I had no clue. These hexies are 3/4" size, and I'm just loving the 30's prints for something different.
Well, I better get some chores done, so I'll check back in later xox

Also have a grandmothers garden waiting for quilting inspiration and a Candied hexagons currently in progress
Lovely hexies Tazzie. Im bringing some over this weekend!
I luuuuuuuuuuuv hexies. I've been working on mine for a year now (check my blog tomorrow for the latest update) and as soon as this one is done I have several more to start :) They are the *perfect* travel project !
I just got a quilt that my grandmother made, she passed away 20 years ago, and she made those hexies, the way she placed them, they make a 3-d cube, do you know what the pattern is called? I also got a Grandmother's flower Garden for my sister.
Tazzie, I think the hexie quilt you are talking about was "Dear Prudence" by Linda at Gum Valley Patchwork. She is in Vic and has a shop and a blog.
