Since January I have been participating in a Challenge Group on Instagram that is making Blocks from Focus (Fussy) Cutting HALF HEXAGONS.
It would seem that I haven't given my Blog Readers an Update on this project since April.
(and International Women's Day)
APRIL: Had a Theme of GARDENS.
MAY: Was a month that featured the SENSES.
JUNE: The Theme was TRAVEL.
My Blocks featured:
The Adventures of Blinky Bill
Pooh Bear
Jungle Book
Pooh Bear
Jungle Book
The Thursday Next Series
as well as A Bookworm in the Library
as well as A Bookworm in the Library
Also a Tribute to all the Women in Science
My Blocks showed that I have a Bee Hive in my Garden,
New Holland Honeyeaters visit our Grevilleas on occasion
and Snails - They come out at night and graze on the Lawn!
As well as the Fish Pond - with no fish at the moment.
I used our Trip away as inspiration.
Starting with the Sound of Music I also included the Sound of the Train on the Tracks.
The Smell of freshly Ground Coffee. (A Good Cup was hard to find.)
Sight - A Classic Aussie Outback Sunset.
Taste - The Food and Wine that was available for all to enjoy and Finally Touch.
My block was made of 'Gold Leaves' for our visit to the Perth Mint.
Was I ahead of my Time or an Inspiration? I didn't ask!
These blocks saw me finding Fabric with Medallions from all the Capitol Cities in Australia (That I have visited.)
The Wheels on a Yellow School Bus from Michigan was my Hidden motif.
Caravanning "Down the Peninsula" hit the brief for our Pattern Matching week.
AND - April in Paris! A 'Never in my Wildest Imagination' Trip away.
That brings me up to date with the Focus Cutting Challenge - marking our halfway point with Week 26.
Note: You can see my Posts on these Individual blocks on AUSSIE.KILTED.QUILTER on Instagram.
I've just been looking through lots of these challenge pieces on insta. I saw some of yours among them. It is fascinating to see how everyone interprets the challenge each week.
