Featherd Heart And Hexagons

A few things I've been working on....... a feathered heart tah dah! Just a practice piece not sure what it will become if anything...... Below you will see a few of my hexagons...... Guess what ?.......They are EPP (yay) I found a method that worked for me using freezer paper and starch. It made things soooooo much easier.....NO slippery papers :)~

Y Seams

I pulled red fabrics .......OK hmmmm...... to practice inset seams....... My motivation for this learning experience ?......Trying to piece hexagons.....need I say more. I've always avoided inset seams but, there are so many wonderful patterns that require Y seams....that I decided it was time for me to be buckle down and learn the dreaded Dot to Dot sewing....LOL

My first 8 pointed star! Woo Hoo! I did it...I love it........this little 8 pointed star has given me such a feeling of accomplishment. Now, do you think I'm ready for a Lone Star quilt? LOL....(repeating to myself) baby steps......baby steps.

Hexagons

A hexagon top I'm working on today...... Maybe, I'll add another border or just quilt it and call it done.... I gave up on the English paper piecing for now.....so, I thought I would use a few of my hexagons to make this little wall hanging .
