I've looked into my crystal ball and I foresee lots of cutting out of hexagons this weekend.Here are the Christmassy fabrics I got at the SECC Hobbycrafts Fair a fortnight ago, and I'll be using a selection of them to make a Christmas thingy. I'm thinking some kind of Grandma's Flower Garden type scenario with big blocks. Maybe handling big hexagons will be less fiddly than handling small hexagons as I've never done anything like this before.
If you don't know what a Grandma or Grandmother's Flower Garden looks like, I'm sorry, I'm not going to link to one because I did a search and got the most intricate, hand-stitched Amish one, genuinely done from scraps, which would take your breath away and I don't want to compare my "efforts" to that!
At the moment I'm not thinking of quilting the work once it's finished, but hey, we are still at the "First catch your fabric" stage, and things may change.
Happy Crafting x K.

Ooohh! Sounds good , and the fabric looks very Christmassy. I'm too much a coward to give it a try yet, maybe after the Christmas knitting! Thanks for the comment on the spinning wheel - not so sure how well the initial yarn will turn out
Getting together all the fabric is my favourite part, I have not-quite-finished quilts to prove it.
thanks for your comment it is a lovely view, its just a little cold!
Happy quilting.
Very festive - hope it's going well :0)
