Years ago, a quilt instructor told the class that "A pattern is only a suggestion". Great words of wisdom that I have carried through my quilting journey. It sounds as if many of you are taking that approach to the My Small World pattern. I am looking forward to starting the My Small World project in tandem with Q Bd member hobbykat1955. We are waiting until Fall, when I have returned home from my lake house and have access to my fabric stash. In the meantime, I am following this post and making note of all the little suggestions. Thanks for everyone's input!

Can't wait to start our project and see how each of our selections in fabrics are so different. Seems with this pattern we have allot of leeway in tweaking and switching a design around...Can't wait, though I know you want summer to go as slow as possible before you have to return home.

We will wait till Fall :D :D I'm not sewing either, the weather is either too hot or like today, too nice to stay in!
Those really are words of wisdom!! |

Nita...great wisdom... Very rarely do I make a quilt to pattern specs. With both GTSB and Happy Birds, I modified the patterns to my likings. Enjoy the remaining vacation time, Nita.
Looking forward to seeing all the MSW project postings. I may start GW in the Fall since I unpacked my project box. I'll post a picture of my colorway soon.... |

Halfway through the hexie hill. I've never made any hexies using the pre-made heavier paper forms, but they do help a lot. [ATTACH=CONFIG]614302[/ATTACH] Thanks for the thought about not doing the New York Beauty. It doesn't look much like a hill to me anyway. I may make some trees instead - thanks for the tip, Anael!

So so pretty!!!!! Really lovely work, Mkotch...
|
Ohhhhhhhhh your hexies are gorgeous!!!
You're welcome Mkotch! I did make some trees too. |
Will admit that the hexi hills was one of the blocks that i thought I might "tweek", since I have zero experience with hexis. But after seeing Mkotch's lovely hexi hills, I think i'll need to pull up my big girl panties and tackle those hexis. Where would I purchase the pre-made heavier paper forms?
Nice work, Mkotch ... |
I got my 1/2" hexie papers on etsy.com. They came from China. :-)
