Hexies and another finish.

remember these hexies?


look at them now....


because i lost this pattern, i assumed i should assemble the hexies into whole hexies
WRONG
i should have left them in half's
i didn't want to rip out all that stitching, i had already ripped out a lot
so, i started sewing them together one at a time in a "Y" seam
now i can say i can successfully sew a "Y" seam
can you?


remember this project?
my simple straight lines....


i turned it into this,
a table runner or door hanger
and yep, there's that polka dotted fabric again


 a quote that goes perfect with my hexies quilt top

"as you sew, so shall you rip"

    Oh gee. I see why leaving them in halves would work. Then you would only be sewing straight seams. Even I could do hexies that way.

    It sure looks like you got plenty of practice on those Y seams.

    The long tablerunner is so nice, Tonya.

    Love the hexies. And you have a great attitude of taking your "mistake" and turning it into a great learning experience. Now you know 2 ways to doing these blocks - one easy and one more challenging.

    Is that the secret to sewing them together? Leave them halves and sew straight lines? I've been trying to figure it out. I don't want to sew Y's. Love that table runner, the colors are great.

    Busy girl! Your hexies are lovely - I wouldn't know how to put them together either. And, look, you're now a y-seam master!

    So, from hexes to straight seams. Looking good!

    A "Y-seam?" I saw it once on Simply Quilts! Love the hexagon quilt and the table runner. Both great projects!
