3/4" Hexies

Here are more hexie flowers to show you. They're made with 3/4" hexie papers.

This first one is my favorite, I love the blues with those purples! Doesn't this look old?


These medium blues seem to mix with any fabric color!


This block isn't as pretty as the others. I'll set it next to the pink block, they'll work together.


I've been asked how big are the flowers? Measuring across the center, they are 9.25".

These fabrics are from the civil war fabrics box, I'm not making a dent at all!

The white amaryllis has started blooming. I always think these flowers look like Easter lilies.

    All of your hexie blocks look great. My favorite is the one with the gold center. Happy stitching this week.

    It seems to take a long time and a lot of sewing to make a dent! True for me too.
    Lovely hexie garden you are creating!

    love that amaryllis - mine sure didn't do real good this year and I have only kept two of the bulbs.

    So pretty! I love how the fussy cut hexies in the first flower make it look so different! Very creative!

    I smiled when you said you weren't making a dent in your stash, Gretchen. Try as we might we never seem to, do we?? =) That's the thing with hexies, even the ones we think are not as pretty as the others, in the end they all look fabulous dancing with each other. Love your new hexie flowers .

    I think all those blocks are pretty. I can understand why those little hexies aren't making a dent in your stash.

    Lovely hexes. With pieces that small, it is going to take hundreds of blocks to make a dent. That is tiny!

    Thanks for sharing with oh Scrap!

    Your hexies are so pretty! I do love Civil War reproductions. I am working to reorganize mine and try to get them all in the same bin finally. I made a king size scrappy quilt using my Civil War prints in 2022, and feel like I didn't make much of a dent in them either.
