Slow stitching this week...

 It's been a few weeks since I shared the hexie flower blocks I've been making, and now they're sewn into a quilt top.  I ran a little low on the green sashing/border print, so added in some additional pink instead!  I'm working on cutting out the background behind the flowers, and have a backing picked out.  Hoping to get it all layered for hand quilting in the next couple days.


Meanwhile I've been finishing up the orange plus blocks for August.  #5 is actually done now, and just #6 to go, which will be my Sunday slow stitching for today.


And whenever there's nothing else prepped, I add a few more stitches into this little design.  Just a bit more to go now!

What a clever way to do the border when you were short on fabric. I'll have to remember that. Those hexie flowers are really pretty. I'm looking forward to seeing your plus quilt blocks all together. That little embroidery is so cute. The yellow just makes it all pop for me. Is that pattern called Spring Steep?

Sweet hexies quilt. It will give you a few more hours of enjoyment as you hand quilt. Love the embroidery project. Any ideas how it's going to finish yet?

Those hexies are so very cute. I am adding them to my RSC list for 2023. Hope the rest of your week is just as colorful.
