Yesterday I finished the hexagon project I have been working on. I have decided to call it "Warkworth Blues" because Lisa purchased the fabrics from Warkford Wellsford Hospice Shop.
Happy days.

"Warkworth Blues" is finished.
Hello,
Yesterday I finished the hexagon project I have been working on. I have decided to call it "Warkworth Blues" because Lisa purchased the fabrics from Warkford Wellsford Hospice Shop.
This was all hand sewn,which I could sit for hours and hours doing. The pattern wanted buttons in the centre of each folded hexagon but I thought this wasn't a great idea. As it is being used for a table runner, I made some circles up and used some "double sided sticky stuff" to hold it to the centre. On my shopping list will be some matching thread to button hole them on. The finished size is 39 inches long by 27 inches wide.
I did find some clear and concise instructions for the folded hexagons here.
Happy days.

This is so gorgeous Bev. I'm going to have a go at something similar as I love it so much.
It looks great Bev! Many years ago our church ladies got together and made a quilt for a new bride with this technique it was great cos we could all work on it at home... and we wrote messages in some of the hexagons... the bride loved it!
Very beautiful Bev. Will check out the folded hexagon site. Hugs

Lovely Bev & I do Like those Folded Hexies they really make it all POP.

It's gorgeous Bev, the folded hexies have added a lovely dimension to it.
You've made Warkworth famous! That quilt of Lisa's is a never ending story! :) The runner is lovely. I looked at the link with interest which waned pretty quickly when I saw how difficult those hexagons are!
i, Bev since redaing this post yesterday I have made some of the folded hexies , they are addictive, Now where is the instructions for the other part ? the hexies made wrong way up with contrasting fabric, ---- As if I had all the time in the world to just sit and sew. Great that you gave to a Hospice , Well done.
Oh, Bev! I really like that!
