Well well well finally Mr Blogger lets me in grr to blogger somedays.
Lyn set a challenge last year with some very very old hand sewn hexagon blocks that she bought,the participants were given 5 blocks each and had too use at least 4 in their item.
4 of mine were roughly the same size and then 1 was bigger..I thought about what I was going to make for a while and then this idea came to mind and I set about doing it…all by hand just as the blocks were sewn by hand .,..OH yeah and man were these blocks fragile…

oops looking at the picture I have not bent the hanger properly shhhh don’t tell hubby..he felt so special when I asked him to make it for me-I painted it a dark green…and I am actually happy with the way this has turned out-thanks Lyn for the opportunity to participate..
Cheers Vickie

Great idea to preserve the hexagons
Hi Vickie, the hexagons look great. I like them actually. Ages ago someone gave me a bag pattern that used hexagons and it looked absolutely fantastic when it was finished. Your work looks great. Kind regards, Anita.
Hello Vickie, thank you for participating in the Challenge....very creative thinking with the blocks...yes the blocks are very fragile.....Hugs Lyn
Those hexagon shapes are beautiful. I love this! I do not quilt, but I have crocheted hexagon shapes in various colors to put them all together - one day - to make a blanket - and I'm still not finished. It's a great way to use up scraps.
Thanks for sharing. Happy Sunday!
I love hexagons! I like what you did with them. So lovely! xox
what a delightfully unique design, Vickie!
it certainly has been a FUN challenge working with these delicate vintage hexagons.
Mine's almost finished, i'm at the binding stage..cheers, Marian
You made something lovely... I would be at a loss as I have never made one in my life... LOL
