I wanted to try the quilt as you go hexie idea, and have a big collection of Valentine fabrics...
 |
| just a portion |
I didn't have the missouri star template so I used my old hexie template, then added 5/8" with another ruler outside each side to cut the backing. I cut batting same size as center piece, layered them folded up each edge to center, then folded that over the center/batting and pinned
I think I might do a few more, not sure yet.
I used black, red and dotted backgrounds to add interest to the back as well as front. I plan to hand stitch them together with ladder stitch for security. Some people zigzag, but it's already pushing my messy meter off the mark and a hand ladder stitch will make them all flat and exact.
when I'm satisfied with the size and content, stitch the hexie quilts together the whole thing is done and dusted! A cute wall or table topper. I'll add some beads, you know how I like bling, and show you when it's finished.

Your Valentine's Day quilt is going to be adorable. Hi Milo!
What cute Valentine Day fabrics. They look very vintage.

Aww, how sweet. Happy 26 years worth of Valentine Days!
I do admire your patience. Hexes are the devil to fit properly, at least for my limited patience, and I recall actually attempting a hex quilt years ago, much the way my grandmother did, but that's when I learned how tricky it could be. Now I stick with patchwork, which is a wonderful way to repurpose the good parts of old tshirts, sweat pants, and flannel shirts.
Hats off to you, or anyone, who dares tackle these...=)
Your Valentine's quilt is going to be amazing!! I love the Peanuts patch! :)
Those hexies are cute as can be, LeeAnna! You have such a great variety of Valentine fabric - that will make your tabletopper or wall-hanging so fun to look at. And actually, I really like the way it looks hanging that way on the wall!
Looks so pretty already!
So cute!Happy Pink Saturday!
This is so pretty quilt!!!
Have a nice Day, Elke
Hi LeeAnna,

hugs,

Such cute fabrics in those hexies!
What fun fabrics! This will be cute!
What a cute Valentine quilt. I have always thought it was such a talent when one could sew and make quilts. And the Peanuts fabric is so cute. Love the Peanuts characters.
