Kmtquilter

 Decided to order a few extra fabrics from an online quilt shop from Minnesota. Not exactly local, but at least the same state. Like the fabrics, and see that several are the same or at least the same line in the quilt show bom kit. Guess my Blume and Grow will resemble that bom. No problem…

Cut to 5 1/2 since I had room  Decided to be brave and make my first cuts from the embroidery cloth. Pattern recommendations are to cut the small patterns into 5” squares and the large ones into 11” squares. After embroidery they will be trimmed of course. Cut the two small ones from the bottom. Not sure why it made me nervous, but it did. 

 Decided to cut some more fabric for my next hexie flower. Since I will eventually need some 1 1/2” squares (80) for the blocks and also some short strips, I decided to cut some strips. Will make it easier to have a few ready to cut and sew.

 Still plugging away. Have 7/10 hexie flowers done and 5/8 pinwheels done. Once I get them done I will sew them onto a background square.

3 hexies and 1 pinwheel done. Need 7 more hexies and 7 more pinwheels. Blume & Grow As you can see the process is slow. Still debating what to use for a background fabric. Going for scrappy, so will be a variety I expect. Fun working on the EPP for the borders.  

What a fun project to work on for 2025. A variety of piecing, English paper piecing and appliqué. Like the different blocks. Far eighths using for a scrappy look Hexie flowers  Blume and Grow…Christmas and birthday gift from Dawn..starting on the hexie flowers
