As a little deviation just in case you're getting bored of looking at life hexagonally, I've been looking for a little variation. And where might I be seeking this change of scenery.......in the bottom of my scrap box of course.
I've been having a lot of fun making these kind of crazy/improv/scrappy/any way you like it crumb type of blocks. These are teeny 4" blocks which means I can use all the tuppence-y baby scraps that sink very fast to the bottom of the pile. I'm going to call this my 'Scrap it up' quilt!!
These are so much fun to make, in fact I doubt I'll ever stop.........
I'm also getting to use up all the jaggedy-fabric left over from when I cut out the camper van fabric for the nine-patch quilty rug......
If you're joining the half- hexagon quilt-a-long don't forget to add the button from the top right hand corner to your blog. If you are going to be flickrmailing Ruth for the half hexagon template, please please include your e-mail address as Flickr cannot handle attatchments and she needs to e-mail you the template.
I'll be bringing you the next instalment of the half hexagons soon but for now I'll leave you with some pics......
One day these trapeziums will be hexagons!!
Hope that whet's your hexy appetite! More soon!
gosh that all looks so pretty. I love those camper vans

I love the improv blocks, are they paper pieced?
And I love, love, love your liberty hexagons.

oooh, look at you and your fancy words - trapeziums, I vaguely remember that word from school (before I decided it was never going to be useful and forgot it - ha, how wrong was I?)
The scrap it up quilt is going to be wonderful - so much to look at.

I just can't get over those camper vans. Love them! Love your blocks, too. So fun to look at them and see how you arranged the different types of fabric together.

I love those little crumb blocks! Such fun seeing bits of those camper vans peeking out here and there. :) This will be such an interesting quilt to just look at and daydream....

Your quilt blocks are beautiful, Aneela. Are they very complicated to put together? Regardless, if it may be complicated, your lovely fabrics sure look great together.
