This weeks block looks challenging, but it's easy! These blocks always surprise me, I look at them in the book and think ...hmmmmm not sure, that looks a little difficult. Then I start on the block and it seems always to be easy and that is the joy of English paper piecing, its surprisingly easy when you use this method!! For those of you who are newbies to this blog, have a look at my Jan 1, 2016 post here to find out what we are doing and/or click on Hexagon Quilt Along on the the categories menu on the right hand column/sidebar on this page to look at all 12 blocks to date! Check out the book below where "The New Hexagon" this block series comes from and you can purchase it by clicking on the link below if you want to try it: Next Wednesday, I will be posting a pic of all the March blocks
Have a Happy Wednesday Everyone! 🐰

Hi everyone, this weeks block is shown above, lots of pieces but easy peasy!
I know I keep repeating myself but for new reader of this blog - this is from the book "The New Hexagon" Check it out below at Amazon.ca
If you don't know how to English Paper Piece and want to try many other modern projects I highly recommend the book below "All Points Patchwork", I have it, it has many, many template shapes in it and numerous fantastic projects and ..... its very affordable even with our crazy Canadian $ right now
Check out the first ever blog post about this Hexagon Quilt Along HERE to see what it's all about
Happy Wednesday everyone and I hope everyone with kids (or grandkids, grand doggies etc) is having a great March break!
The block above #10 "Kelly" has a little trick to it, I discovered. Tip: Make sure that when you make the individual parts that the right side of the fabric is making the shape in the right direction, I made it twice because the first time the right sides were going in the wrong direction!!! LOL
It is easy to do but I have directional issues for sure! The blog post about the origins of this quilt along is here, have a look and join us! If you would like to purchase the book, click on the book below

This weeks block is called "Marena". I believe I was channelling spring with the colours, I just felt like making a lighter block to go with some of the darker ones as at the end this quilt will be an all colour and shade/tone scrappy quilt. It's from the book The New Hexagon, click on the book below if your are interested in joining our "Hexagon Quilt Along". Want to see what it's all about ? Have a look at the original blog post here. No "easy" button needed, so easy, relaxing and fun to do!
