It is a wall hanging with 4 sea turtles. I got the first two together. I still need to applique the shells. They are fused right now. I’m not even going to try to applique all those details. Cutting them out was bad enough. I think they are just going to get heavily quilted.

I signed up to take a Craftsy class on machine quilting. I’ve done a bit but I figured more practice was good. Now I have to make a top to quilt before I can start. They give a pattern that is cute.
I also made 4 and half hexy flowers this week.

The husband finally grasped the implications of all the time sewing these. We were in the car and he said something about how he couldn’t understand how I could sew those all the time because it would make him crazy. I said that everyone thinks that until they do one and get addicted. He asked if making the flowers was the point. I said no, it was a quilt and I was getting close to having all the flowers. I was around 50.
He was shocked. 50? I said that it was 7 flowers from each of ten fabrics and the text fabric was fabric number eight. I think he thought I just made flowers and shoved them in a drawer. Actually given the number of UFOs I have that isn’t a crazy assumption.
Linking up with One Flower Wednesday.
I like how the turtles look on the batik and your hexie project is really coming along!
Love the fabric and combination of colours. They make beautiful little flowers. Your DH brought a smile to my face with his comments, sounds a lot like my DH.
Your husband’s comments made me laugh. Those are great text covered hexagons. Making a lot of progress. I like the turtles, too.
Pretty in pink flowers and wonderful sea turtles too. One day I will get around to making the sea turtle pattern I have.
Yep, just keep sewing and those flowers add up. Yours are lovely and will make a fantastic quilt.
