Mother’s Day Hydrangeas-A Paper Pieced Pattern–FREE!

May 19, 2014

Hydrangeas Paper Pieced

 

WEDDING WEEK SCHEDULE CHANGES

Happy Monday, Quilters!  It’s Wedding week here.  I will be busy with final details and nowhere near my computer!  I planned to have the Tuesday Tutorials scheduled for posting, but that never happened. Please forgive me…the next Tuesday Tutorial will be on June 3.

…there’s plenty of programming here at The Inbox Jaunt so be sure to check in regularly.

Also you can follow the festivities on The Inbox Jaunt: Instagram HERE

PAPER PIECED MOTHER’S DAY HYDRANGEAS

Today, we have a gorgeous hexagon rendition of the Mother’s Day Hydrangeas.  Peggy never ceases to amaze me!  I wish there were more hours in a day and more days in a week…Another project for…AFTER The Wedding!

Hydrangeas

 

NOTES FROM PEGGY:

  • The hexagons, if used the size they print out, are 4″ from tip to tip.
  • The full project will be 24″ x 34″ using 18 different fabrics.
  • The hexagons, of course, can be reduced to any size and the internal fracturing can be simplified.
  • The hexagons are meant to be paper pieced individually and then either hand sewn or machine pieced.
  • There are several files attached — hoping to satisfy those who asked for more details.
  • The flower portion of the pieced hexagons do not have to be strictly pieced according to the pattern, but the window edge and vase edge and its shadow will look most convincing if they are carefully sewn and aligned according to the pattern pieces.
  • The paper piecing PDF is 24 pages long and includes each hexagon, full-sized.
  • The pieces are laid out in horizontal rows, the print-out assumes I meant for them to be sewn that way and indicates horizontal strips of hexes, but of course that’s not probably the way most would choose to assemble.

    Stunning and sooo creative to use hexagons and so appropriate given the shape of the flower. You two never cease to amaze and entice me 🙂

    Beautiful!!! Have a blast with wedding week and if you have any tips for the survival of it, I’d appreciate them as my daughter is getting married August 1!!! Now I need to find a paper pieced pattern for a calla lily.

      If you really do want a Calla Lily pattern, let me know. With Lori being busy elsewhere, I have some free time, too, and would be glad to undertake a request from one of her blog readers. …Peggy
