This one has actually been up on the bedroom wall for a few days, much to husband's dismay, (oh well); I think it looks great!
I pieced the hexies over the Christmas holidays, pondered what on earth to do with them, then browsing my photos from a trip to Liberty back on my birthday in June, this seemed the obvious choice...
I used a 7" hoop; the Liberty scraps were from Jo and Ali, and they were pieced with Aurifil 50wt 2021, no surprise there then. To back it, I simply fused a circle of Vilene fleece the same size as the outer hoop and trimmed to about 1/4" round that; I stuck some double-sided tape to the inner ring before tightening it all. Neat!
My Perfect Quilted Tote is all finished too, but no photos today, sorry. I am 98% pleased with it - why is there always a niggle!? But considering I feared it would take me ages, I could even be tempted into making another.
Sorry Mr Flying Blind, I'm afraid that you're wrong - this is flipping gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Nice touch with the purple ribbon too!
ReplyDeleteOh, fabulous idea! Love anything Liberty, especially your hexies!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning look! I have so many random hexies, without an idea of what to do with them. I might take your lead.
ReplyDeleteOooh, so pretty! Tell Mr FB I can take care of it for him ;o)
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, and the range of colours in the hexies gives a really lovely ombre style effect, love it!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this is so flippin' gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Hadley, and how nice to have some Liberty to wake up to every morning!
ReplyDeleteA perfect way to display your little hexies! Jxo
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Great piece of art!
ReplyDeleteso pretty :-)
ReplyDeleteI think it's lovely too - what do husbands know about such things:)
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE it just had to be earlier today that I declared my non-love for hexagons. And then you go and do this and I'm left eating my words. I no longer don't love liberty hexagons :o)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I have yet to actually touch real Liberty. It looks spectacular.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I'm feeling the need to adorn my walls with Liberty hexies now and its all your fault :)
ReplyDeleteI love Liberty and always get mine from Ali, this is a really sweet way to use up small scraps.
ReplyDeleteIts stunning - great idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone else, what's not to like? They look stunning against a plain white wall.
ReplyDeleteMight just have to do something similar now, hee hee!
I'm currently sewing a row of hexagons near the base of a white cotton sheet. They were made by my late mum and I found them in her stash after she died, so they're precious to me. I plan to make the cotton sheet into a quilt and do some machine quilting in hexagon patterns on the top. Hopefully as a modern take on a traditional idea.
so pretty! I want to make one now :)
ReplyDeleteI love this and it looks lovely against the white wall x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Great idea !
ReplyDeleteI always find the hoops of fabrics so lovely, one day I should make some. Yours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf Mr FB really can't learn to live with it then I'll give it a good home...
ReplyDeleteGah husbands! It looks truly fab!! I think you need to make these and sell them - perhaps not hexies as too time consuming but some other shape or just pieces of fabric!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love it. Great piece of wall art
ReplyDeleteit's really pretty! I'm not a Liberty fan, but this looks great
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love some Liberty...well maybe your hubs
