First Quilted Hexagon ever!

Tonight I finished my first hexagon for the Hexalong. I have most of my templates cut out and I picked out some of the fabrics I will use. I made a rule for myself that if I was going to be doing these challenges I had to use fabric from my stash and not go and buy new fabrics. I am not sure how well I like the fabrics I picked for this block, but we will have to see as the other hexagons come together. I will probably raid my mother's stash sometime soon to see what I can add on!

I was surprised at how easy the English Paper Piecing technique was. I am eager to try more of these blocks but I am so tired!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Yep- I am a Joiner!

I have decided to join the Hexalong over at Lily's Quilts- It looks like it will be a good learning project for me. I will probably only do a small project- maybe something to hang on the wall, as I have so many other projects going right now!

I have always liked Hexagons, but was too scared to try them. Since this is the summer I start getting over being scared of new techniques I just want to go for it.

I have been working on a project this weekend where I have used several new techniques, made my own piping, used a new method for making bias tape, used my zipper foot for the first time. And later on the project I will place my first zipper- I am kinda scared so wish me luck!!

Happy Crafting and thanks for stopping by!
