I have 6 fabrics that I am going to use for the 'petals' (one fabric for each flower) and the cream and red print is the centre of each flower. I'm debating on ringing the outside of each 'flower' with a cream print to make each red flower stand out but I can cross that bridge when I get the majority of the flowers put together.
I have no idea where I am going to put my little wall hanging (or even how to finish a paper pieced project) but I figure I have a LOT of time before I'm anywhere near finishing the project so I'll worry about that later! Until then its just nice to have something to keep my hands busy and keep me out of trouble!
I looked up this designed and its beautiful. check out these instuctions for making it in strips for a little bit of help. Good luck Kari :)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I love all the fabrics and I don't think anyone else is making Christmas flowers. This is going to be lovely. If you are like me, you will change your mind many times before you finish your project.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen - I'm pretty excited to take on a new project and I can't wait to see how it will all come together as I get more flowers finished.
ReplyDeleteHi Kari...what a great idea to use Christmas fabric for some flowers,,,I have to tell you i am drooling over your Go Cutter...Will look forward to hearing how you are going with it..In the meantime.Take care of yourself...xx
ReplyDeleteLove your plan with the red and cream. Have fun with your hexies...it is addicting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate and Wendy, I've done two now and I can say that I'm starting to get addicted!
ReplyDeleteThe Go is AMAZING - I've started a tumbler quilt and a 1/2 square wall hanging so far. I'm still learning how to use it but its a pretty neat contraption!
