March Blocks Finished

I finished up my Lucy Boston March block for Rundu.  She wanted orange and gray.



I got my other block swap done and sent off also.

This is my part of my pile of trimmings from my Liberty of London tana lawn hexagons I cut with my Accu-Quilt die.  These were too small to cut 1" or 3/4" inch hexies from.  With fabric that is $36.00 per yard I decided I was not going to waste these small trimmings.  I got some 1/2" hexie paper templates from Paperpieces and I went to town.  I got over 125 hexagons pinned and ready to baste.  

Jan of SewandFarm had a great idea for when you are pinning fabric on to the card stock.  She uses 1/2" appliqué pins.  I got some last weekend and boy do they work well for the 1/2" hexagons.  Thanks Jan.  


My oldest was in town this weekend from Baltimore.  Today we went to see Captain America on the IMAX screen.  I am not normally a fan of 3D but this movie was made for it.  Who doesn't love a good action movie.  Afterwards we went to my husband and my favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner.  It was a fun day.

    Ha! Those applique pins are great! Less pin pricks always makes me happy. And 125? Really? Wow you are a hexie making machine! That is awesome. love Judys block too.

    I saw the parts of the first Captain America and didn't like it, hoped this movie was better...

    Love your hexies

    Very pretty and smaller is never easier but always cuter.
