Half Hexie Pillow

 I've been having fun playing with 

Lori's (Bee In My Bonnet)

new Hexie Half Rulers

 Our friend Sherri (A Quilting Life)

offers a free tutorial 

using Lori's rulers

to make a 

Half Hexie Pillow

*see tutorial 

HERE

 Sherri asked me if I would also make a pillow

to be part of her

Half Hexie Pillow Parade

I was happy to be invited 

and said yes immediately!

 The pillow worked up quickly

using the smaller template.

The Hexie Half Rulers

are well made, easy to use,

and are charm pack friendly.

The rulers can be found in Lori's 

Etsy Shop

HERE

 Stephanie (stuph.from.steph) had given me a 

5" Charm pack of

 Quilt Blocks 

and I've been looking for 

the perfect project to

dip into them.

 Sherri's tutorial is for a 14" pillow,

but I had a

12" X 24" pillow form

I've been wanting to use.

I adapted her tutorial to use

8 rows across

and 

6 rows down of 

Half Hexie's

 One of the things I have learned while 

using the template, 

is that small print fabrics 

without a directional pattern

 work best.

Can you see how some of the blocks

look better visually than others?

Sherri's 

Half Hexie Pillow Parade 

will be shown on her blog

A Quilting Life

this Friday the 22nd.

*just three days away!

Thanks Sherri for the invite

to play along.
