This week it is all about Hexagons! Part 1

Hexagons are cool right now.  I see them everywhere, not just in quilts.  They are the background in many commercials right now.  They are hot.

Disliking hand stitching has kept me from jumping in, but with a new year, new experiences!  A niece is expecting a baby and the shower is in a couple of weeks.  What better excuse to try something new?  I have watched several online tutorials on how to machine sew hexagons.  I purchased Marti Mitchell's "favorite" hexagon ruler. https://www.frommarti.com/rulerhex.shtml

The directions for using this ruler on are the webpage and easy to strip cut.

Holes in each point to mark the spot where you begin and end sewing.

Easy to knock out the entire stack.

As you can see, I am making large hexies.  This will give it a modern look and hopefully be easier to sew.
The new mom's theme is mermaids.    I have 3 fabrics from Michael Miller's Mermaid Magic by Sarah Jane .  New mom hates pink, so I have selected 3 coordinating fabrics in mints, aquas, and teals.
