More with hexies

I've slowly been stitching together a rainbow of hexie flowers.  Since I last shared these, I've added the purple one and the floral peachy orange.  I'm really liking thread basting these rather than glue basting.  It's so easy to pull out the papers when you need them for another hexie! 

Pink, red, orange
Blue, aqua, purple

It's missing green, but are there green flowers?  We saw these yellow-green ones on a marsh hike on Cape Cod when we were there recently.  I thought these were so unique!  I wish I knew what they are - does anybody know the name of this plant/flower?


So, for today's slow stitching, I've basted some green hexies to stitch together!

Are you basting through the paper of just through the fabric? I'm getting ready to start a small project.

Good progress on your hexies! I think your wildflower is a leafy splurge - https://coloradowildflower.com/wildflower/leafy-spurge/

Pretty hexies, Diann. I also like thread-basting my papers. It only takes a couple minutes and no messy fingers! ha!

I've never made hexies but have read they are very addictive!

Such pretty hexies! I prefer thread basting, too, so much easier than glue!
