    Thanks. Learned a new thing- your end knots. Always sewed all the petals on first then took out centre paper before sewing petals together. Think I was afraid of folding it. Will try your way.

      Usually, the stitching together of the Hexies for a Grandmother Flower Garden Quilt will create a flimsy (quilt top) and then batting and backing are used to complete the quilt

      Hi Susanne, what a lovely idea! Yes, you could absolutely make a hexie placemat using 1" or 2" hexies. As for the size of the placemat, we like to make ours custom to our needs, so we lay out a plate, cutlery (and a glass if you'd like that to sit on the mat also) and measure a rectangle for these items to. sit comfortably. Alternatively there are standard sizes which you can google :)

      @jojorey6886 2 місяці тому

      Thread has a nap; if you thread your needle from the other end the friction from sewing would go against the nap. It’s just better to go with the nap. If you knit something using the wrong end or go against the nap, your item will pill more easily.

    I have many hexies in Liberty fabric which I have made into flowers, but not joined to a quilt top. Having seen your beautiful style with the hexie I so wish I hadn’t put the same middle hexie (all the same colour) in the middle of each flower. So love how your design just works and blends in. Thank you for sharing.

I’m in the middle of quilting it. Seeing your techniques I think is good because when I did mine it never occurred to me that their were smarter ways of sewing them together. Again your quilt is very lovely thank you for sharing.

    I made flowers on the basis of what you had mentioned. Great.. However I have taken my design wall for a short period of time, down as changed the room around. So I have just been sewing Hexies a lot of time on my knee. It isn’t an easy task getting the quilt to be square . The quilt will end up 108x108 inches. What would you suggest could be an easier way to rectify this. I am slowly sorting, but it’s taking a long time with such a large size. Maybe I was wrong making one so large with hexies by hand.

Fabrics very random, but still go together really well. The quilt I am making is 108x108 inches.
