SNOWFLOWERS

REMEMBER THIS???

My Snowflowers have been languishing for such a long time in that closet of shame....;(((

Mainly because i didn't know what to do with those edges; I have basted them to the white-on-white background and plan to stitch them down.  

but then, what to do with those big white corners??Hmmmm maybe a hexie swag? Or some Broderie Perse? 

Here are a few of those flowers:















                       
                                                     
         there is that lovely blue iris
fabric which I have a lot of--perhaps a swag or flowers of that all round...






there are a lot of blues in this one....

I am linking up with 

So, a new "old" project comes back
maybe this time I can actually finish it....

SNOW FLOWERS-An Old UFO


On this super HOT day,  I took out my SNOW FLOWERS hexagon piece that was begun eons ago.  I was hoping to cool myself off a bit.....and that perhaps it was not as badly "off" as I thought--which is why it got put aside in the first place.........

This is one of the first hexagon quilts I made-

AND -when I put it together I didn't really think it out very well..[.see corners below--that don't match....]

       

























Etc.....so today I began to try to make them match up-And found out THAT:

UNLESS I TAKE THE WHOLE THING APART--which is NOT going to happen.....it will never quite match up. ;-0000

So, I will make it into an asymmetrical piece.....good old rationalization to the rescue yet again.....lol

I plan to applique it onto more white on white (hence SNOW) and hope that it will blend into that background....

I was able to add a few (20) hexies today and it is a bit better.......but it will never be perfectly even...

And so it goes...at least I am making inroads on my UFO's....
