My very first ever hexagon flower. I did not use a 1" hexagon template. I used a 1½" hexagon template. Folded the fabric over the paper template and basted in place. Then I stitched the 'petals' to the center. Not too hard, but there are a couple 'spots' that the thread shows through to the front. I will have to work on that!
Then I tried a different way. I cut freezer paper templates and used the edge of that as my stitching line. Just did a running stitch and this is what I got.
Will I make a bunch of these hexagon flowers??? Probably not. I'm thinking of pressing the one I finished and removing the paper and appliqueing it to a solid color square of fabric. Guess I'll have to play a bit more :-)
Wishing everyone a great weekend.

MMM guess what sweetie.you won the hexagons templates from Stash Manicure..please send me your addy......don't give up just yet..you will get it wink.
I always have better luck with the paper templates, too. Once you get the hang of it - it can be very relaxing. And it makes a great "portable" project - you can take it anywhere. Have fun with your winnings from Stash Manicure - I want to see what you make!
