I seem to have the luck lately of finding the unexpected, at a time when I'm looking for something in particular. Today's EPP post fits in with that.
Back around the time of the Australia Day weekend, I was looking for something in my tubs... and just take a look at what I clapped my eyes upon...
My brown-eyed hexy flowers!
I was making these before the Scrappy Hexy Quilt really took hold of me... the last time these saw the light of day was August of 2015!
The original plan for these beauties has been changed... there's no way I'm going to make a second handstitched hexy quilt... no way... SO, an alternative plan will be made.
Just to knock off the dust from this project, 4 more flowers have been stitched in the last week & added to the stack...

Maybe I need to stop looking for things, so I don't find any more

Love your hexies. hugs,xx
I like these and just know you will turn this into a pretty quilt.
What a lovely find Anthea,love your hexies xx
Maybe they can be appliqued to a background square...I love the brown centres.
I agree with Susan. I love the brown centres.....those ufos have a mind of there own....sneaky things lol!
Definitely a nice surprise to come across these forgotten hexes. They look great and I'm looking forward to seeing them made into something beautiful.
Aha! So I wonder what these will become. Sorry I have nothing to share this month. xx
I wonder what they will turn into? Whatever it is it will be pretty.
Oh dear! So what do you plan to do with these beauties I wonder!!!
what beautiful flowers, so glad you found them and have been inspired to work on them.
lovely!!
Have fun with your Hexies.
Oh yes, coffee
I'm on board with Susan & Michelle -- love the brown centers! Can't wait to see what you will do with these. Looks like quite a pile already. Why not make a hand-stitched hexy quilt?
Strange how UFO's find you when the time is right 😆 your flowers are very pretty.
Your hexies of old are lovely Anthea---such a nice variety of fabrics.
Fantastic find girl!
I too have a pile of hexies waiting to be made into a quilt, I know I started about 3 1/2 years ago now!
Oh that is a lovely UFO, um, er, lovely surprise!! I love the browns in the middle, so effective! xx
LOL that's the trouble when you tidy up or check out a box you haven't looked at for years ( in your case )...
