Hexie Love

After my tutorial, Summertime Adventures: Stitchy Hexagons, I have been making more and more of these. I am using Sophie by Chez Moi in this project, so pretty! I like all the prints in this line especially the pinks and blues.


In the middle hexagon is another little embroidery I stitched, it is one of my doodles.  Then, I choose some embroidery floss to stitch them up with and enjoy them in any type of project, I think it adds a little something special.




I am still trying to decide if I should add more embroidered hexies and use them in the centers and make them into the traditional flowers or just let it grow and add embroideries randomly throughout. I am not sure when I will stop with this one, maybe a mini quilt, a baby quilt or table runner!

Thanks so much for all the sweet comments about my flowers it was so fun to read them. I am glad you all like to look at flowers as much as I do.  Have a great day!

  1. LOVE! I still have yet to try my hand at some heagons. It would be so pretty to have embroidered hexagons randomly scattered amongst the fabric. I love that idea :)

  4. I really dig the idea of scattered embroidery. It'd be a break from the traditional hexie flower design.

  5. Loving those hexis - especially in those fabrics! I'd add a bit more embroidery. It adds so much texture and is a jolt of excitement in between the fabric hexis.

  7. OH, this is cute, having "secret" embroidered hexagons. I vote having them randomly throughout the quilt, like delightful little surprises :) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)
