Japanese Hexies - To Do

I have a love of Japanese fabric and have made several articles from them. And of course, once one start cutting fabric, there's always off-cuts. And what to do with them? Create hexies of course!

And while inspiration sometimes waits in the wings, one continues to collect hexies - and here is a pic of some of my hexies awaiting their final destination.

I've bagged these into groups for a project I have in mind - predominantly indigo with a trail of Japanese red weaving its way around the quilt.

Hexie Table Doiły - in Colour Wash

 Hexies is always a thing in my circle of sewing buddies. I decided to make a placemat-cum-sort-of-doily in colour wash - a technique I'd read up about and seen others do amazing things with it. I made it quite a number of years ago and I still love it.

Hexagons Galore

We were challenged in the Textiles course, to start a project with a long-term view - that is, to start something 'now' but not expect to finish it for quite a few years. We were given some examples of what these projects might look like and; I decided on this one...

Each of these hexagons are about 2cm wide...

Call me crazy!!! But one of these days these will be a Queen-size quilt - if I live long enough to finish it... that is!!!

And here's some squares cut to 2", ready to be folded over the templates.

On the last count, I think there are something like 2,500 squares in this lot... doesn't look like it, does it? And as you can see, I'm concentrating on shades of greens and pinks - the pinks go into the burgundy range with splashes of red to give it a boost! And of course, other colours get a guernsey because of the various fabrics and prints chosen.

And herewith is one of the blocks, set aside for its mates to be finished.

And herewith another Hexie masterpiece!
