On my previous post, I talked about how I clipped the hexi’s to my template. After doing this I then sewed the Hexi Crown together before I appliqued it to the 10 1/2″ block.
I tried to put them together looking at the pattern, but kept making mistakes by sewing the wrong edges together, so for me this was a way that I could pick up the first 2 hexagons, sew them together, then add the next one, etc, without making errors.
After the Hexi Crown was sewn together, I placed it around the block where I had drawn a line and then ran a basting thread to use as a placement guide on the right side of the 10 1/2″ block. I pinned the Hexi Crown to the block and then did the applique. This process really helped me.
Karen H (faeriesandfibres@blogspot.com) really helped get started on this project and is very helpful. Bloggers are so very very helpful with their tutorials.
Have a great week.
