In my last post, I talked about various border ideas for my hexie quilt. While going through some old magazines I came across this quilt in an American Patchwork and Quilting 2005 magazine.
I just love the look of this border and am thinking I could do something similar, but using my little hexie flowers. Maybe a birdhouse in one corner and a little blue bird or two in the other corner. I have not done anything like this before, so should be an interesting project.
In the meantime I have been working on a "secret" project and having so much fun playing with beads and beautiful wool. I should be able to show some finished projects in a couple week or so.
Have you gotten your decorations up? I have actually completed most of my decorating - just a few more ornaments to hang. These are my nesting Santas - my grandchildren have more fun playing with these, for that matter, so do I.
Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving, and happy holidays to come.

Beads and wool - oh my!
Now that's a lovely border idea. A border idea that flows with some real charm. It rests perfectly alongside your hexies I think.
Another nice alternative! You could just flip a coin and any would be great!
No decorations here. For the third consecutive year our children and grandchildren aren't coming home for Christmas, so I don't see a point to making the effort to drag out boxes and put stuff up. Sigh. Maybe next year. Your border idea sounds perfect with your hexagons. Go for it.
I like that border idea, I think you could make a stunning finish to your quilt.
Another great idea - this will get you right away from needing to make more hexies - unless of course you are addicted and cant help yourself!-any of the border ideas would be great and it's up to you really!!
I have a nesting set too, and I also like to play with them and they are also played with by the younger ones. I have had my mind on so many other things that I only thought about doing a little decorating yesterday. Maybe next week. Love the applique idea.
