I think they're wonderful and love the rescues, especially that one with the diddy hexie centre - brilliant idea! I reckon you've got an average of 10 pieces per hexies so there must be 1010 pieces in what you've done so far...am I miles out?! xInspiredbyfelixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340110709280681792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300074371992363435.post-34740697728440357332012-04-17T21:35:20.247+01:002012-04-17T21:35:20.247+01:00Ex-squeeze me?

I think you did good.<br />Love how you've introduced the little hexie in the middle though. Did you applique that in place?<br />My thought of how you'll put it all together.. well the thought was 'daunting'.<br />Your idea of sashing would make it easier if you have two seams wanting to go in the same direction when they meet.<br />I made a few hexies a few years back (I need to do a few more to make them into a reasonable project) but my thought on putting them together was with equilateral? triangles between. The idea behind that was so I could sew them up together on the machine. Actually, I think I did a youtube video of my idea to show a friend what I was planning.. hmmm... <br />Awwww.... Alfie has such an expressive face, mind you so does Archie, LOL.. both beautiful dogs.Elly Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13132964984706757601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300074371992363435.post-34812944775114649312012-04-13T17:46:55.781+01:002012-04-13T17:46:55.781+01:00great to have you back and to get our fix of Archi...great to have you back and to get our fix of Archie too.
