2014 Hexie BOM: August!


We're letting the SUN shine in this month! This in our hottest month of the year - and the humidity where we live is through the roof. When you walk outside, it's like you're walking into a sauna. So we're celebrating the sun this month!

Are you caught up? Enjoy a bit of sun today while you stitch! Happy Hexies...

  5. Working on my 2 suns - 1/2" batiks and 1" 30's repro fabric. I'm ready to start picking backing and figuring out sashing and possible borders. Have 2 questions....Julia or other bloggers - I would like to put hexies into the sashing on the 1" quilt and was wondering if someone had any ideas for that. I will probably use the hst idea (half square triangles) for the smaller batik "table topper" sashing. Also was wondering - Julia - what size you would make the backing and sashings for that one as is not a factor of '5' one. I could 1/2 everything (finished size) and add the 1/4" for seams, but afraid that may not be large enough - esp. for background. Do you have any suggestions there? THANKS! Nancy
