Well I sewed more hexagons together. I've gone back to strictly random. So I'm back to just pulling out a hexagon and sewing it into the flower I'll allow two fabrics per 'flower.' I'm not sure why I went back to random. I do know the 'flowers' seem to go together much faster when it is just random.....lol.
Again none of this fabric is brand new it is either reclaimed, traded, donated, or bought scraps or vintage fabric, but none brand new. It is an eco challenge, and creative challenge to see how this quilt will turn out without buying new fabric, but reclaiming fabric, using scraps, finding fabric at Thrift Stores, using old clothes etc. I'm really enjoying challenging myself this way.

I love feeling like I've reused something in a beautiful way! Doing this with "used" fabric is what our ancestors did. Its such a romantic idea.
@ Linda yeah i feel the same way. it is exactly what our ancestors did & i love to feel that i'm keeping that alive in some small way
