A New Hobby? I Think So!!

Okay, so yesterday, right after I posted my post about boredom, I continued to browse random blogs. I found this wonderful blog about quilting (of course I subscribed!) I've tried quilting before, when I was about 12 years old, ha ha. I did not turn out well!  Well I ended up keeping the messed up topper for the next three years, and a few months ago, I ended up making a dress with it, which turned out pretty well, Ill have to edit a picture in here sometime.

Anyways, I already sew, but what I came across was hand quilting with hexagon pieces, it was adorable and just, like wow! Anyways, I found this last night, and attempted to make my own hexagon template, which for some reason just did not work out. At. All.

So today, I got online and found a perfect hexagon picture online, and traced it from my computer (it was just a picture of a hexagon, so I wasn't taking anyone's copyrighted image!) Anyways, i put what i traced onto a piece of thin but sturdy cardboard, and I've been using it to trace lots of little paper templates onto some scrap papers, and so far, Ive made two hexagons :D ha ha, i only just started, but its going decently, I'll put a group of pictures at the bottom of the post :)

I think I'm just going to start out by making a simple flower to hang on my wall :) simple enough :D ha ha, I also have a question at the end of the post, if anyone knows the answer that'd be awesome! (if not, google works too ;D)

This is the picture I used for my hexagons :)

These are all the templates I traced out, one of them cut out with the fabric behind it :)

The templates and one of the hexagons almost done!

Here it is in better light,,,

And here's two of them! ha ha, I'm working on the third, the pink plaid is the middle piece

Please tell me what you thought! Id love to hear :)

See you all later!

P.S. I said I had a question, when you go to take out the paper, do you cut the strings you sewed the template in with, and the stitches you used to connect all the hexagons will keep them together in the right shape?  If anyone can answer, thatd be lovely!

Also, my post on how my drawings have changed over about two years, will be coming up later today :)
