I forgot to post a picture of the awesome tag I bought at Fancy Tiger Crafts in Denver. What do you think? Would you put these on any handmade items you gave to friends or family?
This weekend I decided to tackle a pretty old UFO. A while ago, I had the crazy intention of making an entirely hand-pieced hexagon quilt and frame them in charcoal grey. It wasn't long before I realized that it was very time-consuming, but I didn't hardly love the look of it. I made myself finish 7 "flowers" and had the idea to applique it onto a large piece of fabric.
It would've come out neater if I had hand-sewed all of the flowers to each other and then appliqued it to the background fabric but I just didn't want to put even more time into the project. I am happy with my results despite my initial lack of enthusiasm for the whole project. Once this is quilted and bound, it will be a nice gift to have on hand for someone special. I still have quite a few completed hexagonal flowers without grey borders that I have a plans for, stay tuned!

I LOVE that tag. I would totally put it on a project!!
I love that quilt top - the way you've placed the hexagon "flowers" is perfect.
Looks beautiful!
So pretty!!! I'm addicted to making hexies but not so much the sewing them together:-) I definitely need some of those tags!!!
