I loved the mini I received from Elyte. The one I made for her was also in reds and creams. I intended to do an eight pointed star but the papers I bought weren't the right size, so six sided it was. It measures 12" square.
It was actually square, just looks wonky on the grass.
I also made a little pincushion for my fellow hexie lover, Marina. It looks a bit wonky because it was. 3/8" hexies.
I have been busy quilting my SIL quilt at night, it's keeping me very warm. Also planning my trip with the Cassilis Quilters to the Sydney craft show next week. Looking forward to catching up, seeing some beautiful quilts and buying a few supplies.

ReplyDeleteOh what adorable makes, Susan. You are such a clever (and patient) cookie. Friends and I had a great day out at the quilt show in Melbourne on Sunday (just trying to make you jealous!) Hope you're having a great week and enjoying the new job.
ReplyDeleteyour mini was amazing and those teeny tiny quilting stitches were unreal!!
ReplyDeleteMy pincushion is gorgeous and if I give it a pat on the hexie it pushes down perfectly to a round shape.
so not wonky just misunderstood?
