Right now I am totally hooked on english paper piecing. There is something almost therapeutic about sitting and hand-stitching little pieces of fabric together, not to mention you can pretty much take it anywhere. Which is a big plus with three little ones running every which way during the day. (Okay, two running and one scooting around pretty quickly.) I spent this weekend sewing colorful hexagons together with my mom, and I think she’s even hooked on it now.
Thank you! I traced around and cut a piece of felt to the same size as the finished flower. I trimmed off about 1/16th” around the entire felt piece, just to make sure it wasn’t visible from the front, and then sewed it to the back of the flower.
As soon as I get on my computer I am pinning all of your work, it is so beautiful! If That’s okay?
Mara, thank you so much for the kind words! 🙂 Pin away!
Best use of hexi flowers I’ve seen yet– LOVE IT! Makes me even want to try paper piecing (which scares me a bit!).
Thank you! It’s a must try! I promise it’s easier than it looks… and very addicting! 😉
I love this! How did you finish the backs of your flowers?

Thank you so much! These are just so delightful!
