Hexagon #4 - Tout Finis!

 Hi There!

Still enjoying these cute 6 inch (across) hexagons!

I had a bit of a challenge with finding the correct sizes for Hexagon #3. Finally figured it out and had hoped to work on it, yesterday evening, but I was plum tired!  Had trouble keeping my eyes open to watch TV, even!

Anyhow, here's Hexagon #4, 

in Linda Franz's new Inklingo collection, 

300 Pieced Hexagons.

And here's my 3 cuties,

on my design wall!

What's on my agenda, today?

I'll be working on finishing Bonnie Hunter's latest Mystery Quilt, called "Lazy Sunday".

Will post pictures, in a bit....

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Hexagons #1 and #2.... Re-Visited

 Hi There!

I've been bitten by the Inklingo bug!

And, the bite was rather severe....

At this point in time,

it has to do with Linda Franz's

300 + Hexagon designs!

Incredibly Jaw Dropping,

that's truly very easy

the Inklingo way!

Well, if you remember, I had started making these hexagons with a dark navy background and Gilbert mentioned that it looked like Halloween blocks.

Soooo, I took the first 2 apart and now can show you the completed ironed cutey...

Hexagon #1

Hexagon #2

I've got my third one finished but not ironed, yet. I just finished it this morning.  

I'll upload its picture, in a few days.

Linda Franz, the genius behind Inklingo, also has a blog, that is also very informative and always has lots of eye candy!

Have a Terrific Tuesday!

Onto Hexagon #2, with Inklingo!

The 1st hex was easy and.... 

well, let's admit it, kinda boring.

But wait till you see them all, close-up and personal!

I figured these ones were like little pie pieces.

To make Hexagon #2, you will need:

Hexagon .75 (x 1)
Hexagon the Other Half (x 6)
Triangle .75 (x 6)
Diamond .75 (x 6)

I laid the pieces out and this is what it would look like.

Gilbert saw this and said, "Oh, you're making a Halloween quilt?"

*insert LOUD sound of screeching car brakes, here*

HUH?!??!?

I wanted to use a dark navy with different oranges and yellows, to make my hexagon quilt dramatic.  These hexies were too close to my nose, I think. I never realized that YES, these colors did INDEED look like Halloween colors and NO, that's NOT what I wanted to make!

*insert a LOUD and LONG sigh, here*

Soooooo, I took the first hexagon apart as well as the pieces to the 2nd one.  I will replace the dark navy pieces with some various WOW (White on White) fabrics.

In French, there's a saying that says that "Not only fools can change their minds."

Also, I had originally wanted to make each hexagon a different orange or yellow. But, since some of Linda's hexagons have TWO colors, with white, I thought, "Why waste perfectly good pieces?"

I got 2 ziplocks and am putting left over pieces in them, according to "size".  Figured it would be easier to keep track of them, this way.

*grin*

Also, my printer doesn't take different sized paper.  Although, in the meantime, I DID figure out how to use small pieces of fabric, for Inklingo.

You just iron your small piece of fabric to your 8-1/2" X 11" piece of Freezer Paper and you put 'er through your printer!

Easy, eh?

Here's a picture of my 1.50 pieces.

 

Yesterday evening, I was curious as to how many had visited my blog since I posted on my 1st Hexagon.

Lookee, Lookee!

This is THE most viewers I've ever had!

Oh what a fun adventure this will be!!!

Have a Fantastic Friday, everyone!!!
