We're only cutting the hexie paper into 2 pieces this week, using S1 on the ruler.
At first glance this looks simple, but those points are a bit tricky. So I made a video to help you with this. Be sure to watch it - it will help you! Find the video HERE.
Make six of these!
And sew them in place as shown above! It's growing! And it is a riot of color, is it not?
My husband asked, "Why is there a swirl on the left side and not on the right?" He's like me - he likes symmetry. I told him it was because I'm trying to teach the variety of things you can do with ruler. Sometimes I might design some symmetry into this quilt, but sometimes, we're just learning and playing!
Stay safe!
We're getting a work out with these pieces. Off to prep them.
ReplyDeleteI, too, do almost everything symmetrical; but this is soooo much fun I didn't even care that the 2 swirls were touching and not separated by the "flower". Actually, one of my sister's asked me about it and I hadn't even noticed it before she said something! Now I'm choosing to ignore it 'cause I'm so excited to see where this is going!
ReplyDeleteThis is fun, isn't it? Thx for following along!
