GEM COLLECTOR AUGUST SEW ALONG MAKING HEXIES

I just knew when I saw Doreen's  Gem Collector August Sew Along for 5" Charm  pre cuts project that I had to join !

First of all I have always wanted to make hexies and # 2 I already had this bird fabric in my stash just waiting for the perfect quilt to make it with .  Perfect !
                       
                                 I have all of my fabric cut and started sewing my hexies today.


                      I am paper piecing my hexies and having so much fun making them

                            
                                 I made a sample hexie before making mine .
  I can see that this is going to be a start of more of these hexie quilts to come ;-)


   

   I also wanted to share with you this Watermelon cake I saw on Pinterest

I made one last weekend for a birthday cake and it was delicious and so easy to make
