Hexagon Block

Was it love at first sight in the book? Yes, for me anyway. When Venita requested the hexagon block, I had my doubts about actually making it however. This despite the fact I helped my mom deconstruct my grandmother’s Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt, and appliqué 24 hexagon flowers onto pillows. Hand appliqué.

Turns out, this block was fun to make, no doubt due in part to machine appliqué. I think the hardest part was deciding on how many hexies to make and where to place them. I even skipped the part about joining them together before attaching to the background.
