Design Wall Monday

Welcome to another edition of DWM! You can see what others are working on by checking the Judy’s post at Patchwork Times. Here is my design wall today:

I am machine piecing this quilt. I posted a tutorial to show you how I do this here. I cut my pieces for this quilt using this die:

Sharon asked about the tiny hexagon quilt I have been working on.

In this picture, the he idea on the outer edges appear elongated. This is because the edges still show the seam allowances. Here is a pic of the back side.

And here is a pic showing the piece being appliqués to a background.

On e the seams are turned under, they no longer appear to be elongated. I finished the appliqué and decided I hated it!

I love this green fabric but it isn’t working here. So I pressed the piece and then took at apart. I will audition other fabrics today. At least I won’t have to needle turn the edges as I go this time since the seams are now pressed.
Happy Monday
