creatively speaking this week, light blue hexie spirals and halloween quilts X 2

 

welcome to this week's creativity round up. I want to be beading, painting and writing but my body won't cooperate. Luckily I could still sew, so, on with the show... 

Starting with the 10th Hexi spiral block this year, this time in light pale blues

I kind of like it! Surprised myself with that! I finished hand sewing the hexies while watching the premier of this season's Amazing Race (and sewed two in the middle wrong, having to rip out and resew

last time DH said he liked them turned a different way (I was too dazzled by all the spiraling to notice)

so here the block is turned 

Remember this Halloween 2025 start on the design wall?

not sewn together yet

I wondered how the scraps would look as small hexies in a row...

Ooooo I like them!

which led me to big hexies to quilt-as-you-go

batting and hexie cut same size, backing larger for each

and fussy cutting into my Halloween print stash

24 times should make a good sized wall quilt. Look at that fancy witch, the owl, that sassy cat! 

one finished block, sew 24 together and done! 

two finished quilted bound blocks  and 22 to go, then arrange and sew together, done! 

see the backing is larger to pull to the front and finish after quilting?

We put up Halloween decorations this week, and I began hanging halloween quilts from previous years... 

I'll show others later... glad to see the end of pale blue and green as focus colors at RSC this month

with two gratuitous flamingos and a solar up light  

I like these fall grasses in Colorado. More of a pale yellowish green 

that's it for this week y'all
