Paper piecing is actually a new favorite of mine. I got this pattern out of the summer Better Homes and Garden Quilt Magazine. Eventually they will be made into coasters or hot pads. I just love how easy they are to make & to bring along on trips and such. I kept all the stuff I needed in a ziplock bag and just grabbed one out when I had a moment. It was awesome. I totally want to make a whole quilt some day with these hexagon flowers . Somehow the magnitude of the project isn't daunting but makes it more appealing. To work on something that would truly be an heirloom quilt sounds just about perfect right now.
I've also been sucked into the addictive world of doll clothes. This cute outfit was made for Lori's daughter's Kit doll. It was a quick project made with a fat quarter and scraps. The added bonus was that I now understand how sleeves go on shirts without having to make a grown up one & potentially waste all that fabric. So see why it's addictive? It's fast, easy and teachers you clothing construction and if you add in the fact that I have a TON of fat quarters...well, Maisy is totally getting a bunch of clothes for her doll this Christmas!
Okay, that's it for now.
I don't want to over do it.
Though now that some of my free time has opened up, I should be posting a lot more.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Love the GFG. It is a great thing to take along. The doll clothes are adorable - making something that small seems like it would be really hard.
Aidin loves those Kit clothes! Thanks again, my dear. Have a great weekend. I feel the need for some paper piecing coming on.
