A close up of some of the flowers:
To those that don't know the story behind the above comment, Marcie Patch (designer of quilts in McCall's Quilting Magazine) wrote on her blog (no longer active) Apr. 10, 2009 that she had hexagon flowers to giveaway. She and her aunt started them but Marcie didn't want them anymore. I won them! Yeah me!
When the package arrived, I tried to sew the flowers together but they just wouldn't lay flat no matter what I did. So, I TOOK them all apart, washed the fabric pieces and using my own templates, redid the whole lot. The white pieces were added from my stash.
When I looked at her templates, Lordy, there were three different sizes. No wonder there were problems in sewing the flowers together. BTW, Marcie knows about this because a photo and email was sent to her after the top was finished explaining what I did to make them work.
So, her castoff is now my TREASURE! Can you see me doing the happy dance?
