Let's face it. Any opportunity that brings together family and friends to enjoy each others company should be grasped with both hands and savoured. So whatever your circumstances, I hope you got to share today (Mothers Day in Australia) in good spirits.
Following the stimulus of the recent Antique Quilts Big Day Out and this picture
I pulled out a few of my reproduction fabrics and cut some 1" hexagons.
After a quick bit of stitching I ended up with a pile similar to this
A while later, the paper pieced hexagons turned into this
There are enough cut hexagons for another 5 blocks. Then who knows how these little patches of fabric will end up. I am open to suggestions.

Oh yes. today is a great reminder of what great kids I picked out.(and I won't have any trouble getting rid of excess quilts)
I picked a mom who gave me my love of reading and sewing. How great is that! Liz, I hope your day is filled with love and laughter.
I agree with you. My mom has been gone 4.5 years and it's days like today that I think about her more often than other days. Funny, I got up this a.m. and was standing in my kitchen and said out loud,"Happy Mothers Day" I know she heard me!
Awww your bouquet is lovely!! No suggestions with the hexes LOL.
I thought of my mom this morning too. Even after 11 years I miss her
Have a wonderful Mother's Day!!
Crispy - who is waiting patiently for my son to get breakfast cooked....maybe we will be having brunch LOL
Saw them together and start a bed quilt . I am just about 80% on mine , still enjoying it LOL It started as a bag .... 3/4" hexagons.Your blocks look just like my top , I think that if you have no idea at all what to do woith them you might consider sending them my way :-)
