I print my hexagons on a iron on stabilizer, cut them out, iron them on the fabric and then roughly cut them out. I then just stitch along the edge of the fusible, sometimes I will glue stick them together matching the edges before I stitch. The advantage to doing it this way is that I can press my seam so the piece is very flat. I will see if I can find the picture that I had on the old site.

Ritzy, I was trying to remember your method of sewing hexagons together yesterday but I just couldn't and I couldn't remember where you had posted photos of it either - probably wouldn't have been able to access it on the new site anyway. :unsure:

Well ladies, I haven't done any of these and don't have any of the directions for Bonnie's scrap quilts but you have all done a wonderful job. They are just beautiful.

Rita--I love, love, love what you are doing with your hexie quilt!

Judy - I bet your quilts are better than you let on (we are all our own harshest critics)! And even if you are a beginner, even Sharon Schamber and Janet Stone were beginners once. We all started somewhere and we all are always getting better. And, the biggest given with quilters, we all love to see all of the quilts that everyone has made! They are all beautiful!! So please, please share!! I guarantee that this community will always make you feel like a star. That's what they've done for me.

Thanks for the compliments ladies! :) Sharyn, the pinwheels were made from the leftover triangles during the making of CS, I just put sashing around them to make them fit the border. (Maybe that is elongated pinwheels?) Love your roll roll cotton boll quilt. All those tiny HSTs :ohmy:
Judy, we are all here to play together. Anybody else got a quilt they want to show us?

Ladies,

I so love seeing all your beautiful quilts. Unfortunately it makes me feel like such a slacker. I promise I will try to do better so please let me play with the big kids!

Judy

Rita, that inner border on Celtic Solstice is brilliant. Is it elongated pinwheels?
Your hexie project WILL be finished in your lifetime, we are all living to 200 aren't we, so we don't have any left over stash?
Ttime, thanks for sharing your Celtic!

I'll take a couple pictures of my La Passacaglia EPP (the g is silent) which means Slow Dance. I think I'll call mine The One That Got Away. You'll see why when I show the rosettes

Thought I would have another go. This is my epp project for quite some time now. The hexagons are 3/4". I am in the very slow process of squaring it up with plain hexagons now. I would love to finish this in my lifetime :lol:

Rita and Ttime, great Mystery Quilts! Looks like we all took our cues from Bonnie on the color last year. :)

Thank you for your kind comments on my quilts, Judy. Looks like your quilts will become studies in color for me--they are absolutely gorgeous!

I'm so excited. I'm new to this site and when I saw this thread I got excited I'm a bonnie fan as well and made my first bonnie quilt last year. Her mystery quilt. I'm looking forward to this year's and almost have my fabric ready.

I did it exactly like you said Renata - the attachment looks like it is here - just above me actually. So if this doesn't work ....
