Hexie Love ~ Part 2 ~ A Start


In 2015 and 2016, I visited Temecula Quilt Co. - a quilt shop with a very distinctive signature look that I love. 
Earlier this year I was lucky enough to win one of their  giveaway scrap boxes!
Wow what treasures!


A large flat rate box filled with fabric scraps, patterns and the two gorgeous collection rolls in the first picture!
They recently shared a blog post about a Insta-Sew-Along that they are doing for English Paper Piecing using hexies. You can read about it here.
Count me in!!!
Although their version is very scrappy, I decided that I wanted mine to be more cohesive.


I bought this fabric bundle on one of my trips to Temecula Quilt Co and decided that it would be perfect for this project.


Here are all the fabrics in the bundle cut and ready to go.
I'm using one inch hexies as I had the paper pieces on hand and they worked well with the size fabrics in the bundle. They feel giant after my big project with half inch hexies ;) 


And what better to use to store my pieces in than one of my Temecula Quilt Co. boxes. :)


The diamonds are going quickly!


I've finished several already.


It's fun to see how each turns out...


I think that this is my favorite so far...

Will you join in the fun? As they mentioned in their blog post,
they are sharing on Facebook and Instagram.

I'll be checking in with my progress!

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are. Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
~Romans 12:14-18

Blessings, Patti
