The heat wave is getting to me! This week I made these Hotter than Hell Hexagon Coasters:-)
I think I've mentioned I have a bit of a drinking problem. In the summer this manifests itself in the form of massive glasses of iced tea that sweat all over my tables. Obviously I need some heavy-duty coasters:-)
I've been a bit hex-obsessed lately. Last week it was hexagon week over at Quilter's Way which reminded me this would be the perfect way to use up some of my leftover Toes in the Sand triangles. For the first one I just layered the hexagon, batting and backing together and did a pillowcase finish then did some light quilting. For the other one I actually added binding because there's nothing better to do on a hot night than crank up the a/c, watch a movie, and tack some binding. I'm loving these cool blues and my furniture is thanking me!

Oh, I love them! What a great way to use up that fabric!
ReplyDeleteWell, darn! I didn't know it was Hexagon Week. I love how yours turned out. What great gifts they will make. And you know I have a hexagon or two!
ReplyDeleteThese are great. What a great use of leftover fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove them! I never gave the stand-alone hexagon much thought, but you've got me thinking over here, with my iced green tea!
ReplyDeleteLove them! Great hexie idea! (Typing this beside my drippy ice coffee cup, facing the A/C....will this heat ever go away? I miss going outside!)
ReplyDeleteOh these look so addicted. I love the one with the binding. So true, watching a moving/tv with hand binding and some a.c. Can't beat it!
