hexagons in progress

IMG_20190305_151335

The only purple fabric I could easily find in my discards/scraps stash was stretch jersey, and I don't have to know a lot to know that's not really ideally suited to quilting.
So I decided to hand-sew it, along with some other tricky bits and scraps, to some non-stretch backing fabric, the lining of a skirt I deconstructed over the weekend.

I also seamed a too-small scrap of brocade to a strip of unrelated scrap fabric, and then tacked the seam allowance down in gold glitter thread.
So there's my little stash of over-elaborate hexagons for today.
(I remembered to find my scissors and thread, so.)

THE SHINY!

Very excited to see how this turns out.

The black one is just A++ and I love the stitching on the purples.

I missed where you said what you're doing with the hexes.... well, I know you haven't really figured it out.

But I don't understand why you're attaching them to paper...
