Thing 6

Flikr

Ok, this "Thing" took longer to get through only because I got lost looking at all of the wonderful pictures of quilts that people had posted online.

I first found Flickr about a year ago when I was searching for information on how to do English Paper Piecing (a method for hand sewing quilt pieces together usually geometric shapes), and I found some wonderful pictures of what people have made, their progress at basting the pieces and the piles and piles of pieces ready to be sewn together (I am guilty of some of these piles since I am working on two different English Paper Pieced quilts).


When finding some photos to download and use for this blog I have found that many of the ones I was interested were a GIF file and all had the same name "spaceball". When I saved them, there wasn't an image when I went to open it later. It must be something to do with the copyright??? I was able to get the ones that were JPGs (did I write that correctly?) to work. So, I have included in this blog the pictures that I downloaded. They are hexagons that would traditionally be sewn together to make flowers that would then be sewn together to make the "Grandmother's Flower Garden" quilt. (I am working on one of these now and it requires a little over a thousand hexagons sewn together just for a twin size quilt.)

Now, just to get these "Things" done so I can get back to sewing my English Paper Pieces...
