Default Just been playing ... "Lucy Boston" blocks

What fun these are to make and a great way to use up left over fabric from quilts I've made. And a way to remember quilts I've made for others. (unfinished one is now done.)

That's a great block but I'm confused, how do you put them together? What am I not getting?

It looks like it may be stitched using "English paper piecing" like you use when making a "Grandmother's Flower Garden.

I love what you said about a way to remember quilts you've made for others. What a great idea! Better than a photo. :-)

Any tute for hexies will do. There are many on Youtube and I finally settled on Sue Daley's EP Hexie method.
These are hand sewn together just like hexies are. Unless you have strong hands, I don't recommend "pieced" hexies like the single one's center! Should have pressed the seams open - Ouch! I also really liked the link posted by Tapper on this post: http://www.quiltingboard.com/links-r...s-t250279.html
Thanks all!
