Blogger's Block of the Month - Oct

Its month 2 of the Blogger's Block of the Month.  The block was released today by Vicki of Field Trips in Fiber.   Tonight I may have time to select colors for this new block.  My idea is to make them with polka dot fabrics on a gray background.

I'll have time for this project because I have lost my hexagon mojo.  When I opened the second package of pre-cuts last night, the hexagons were cut incorrectly.  One side seems short and it has thrown off the angles.  I spent the evening trying to work up a flower with no luck.  Tonight I sent an email to the fabric company to see what can be done while I think of ways to save the project.

Design Wall Monday - Blogtoberfest Day 24


Today on my design wall are the hexies that I made this weekend.  13 down, 7 more to go for this project.  But I am having so much fun, I think I will work with hexies again.

If only someday I can win a Go Baby to help with cutting.  Of course, the Houston Quilt show is in a few weeks so maybe I'll see if there are any bargains on the Go Baby.

Hexies Again - Blogtoberfest Day 22


Well, I am not one to give up so I picked up my hexagons and started again.  This is the third technique I tried this month and I think that I may have it.  There are no paper pieces, I just matched the pieces together and sewed them.
