I found it while looking for ideas for a quilt square to submit to the Astronomical Quilts Block Challenge, started by astronaut Karen Nyberg. The quilt squares have to contain a star theme and I wanted mine to also have a relation to honey bees, so needed hexagons. I think I found a picture of your hexagon star block on pinterest. Thanks to your clear instructions, I got my block sewn easily, despite having never used this method before. If I knew how to post a picture of my block, I would. Here's a link to the quilt block challenge flier, if you are interested in submitting a block. http://www.quilts.com/pressreleases/y2013/FQF13QuiltChallengeFlyer.pdfAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224479323338833653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610175230007663375.post-66964050752906032562013-02-24T14:33:50.260+00:002013-02-24T14:33:50.260+00:00Thank you, Clare, for an excellent tutorial in han...Thank you, Clare, for an excellent tutorial in hand paper piecing.

I also only discovered the term 'fussy cutting' (so descriptive!) recently although like you I'd been doing it for years - it's a lovely way to accent your favourite motifs. I love the shapes you used in your tutorial, which was very clear and well done, and I'm sure lots of people will be inspired to try this technique - I'm looking forward to starting my next one now! <br />Helen xHelen Philippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085327303967055337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610175230007663375.post-1057352871560397082011-03-02T10:02:23.751+00:002011-03-02T10:02:23.751+00:00Fabulous tutorial, can't wait to have a go. Ma...Fabulous tutorial, can't wait to have a go. May I add something? I've just done some fussy cutting patchwork and found using freezer paper a really easy way to make the templates. <br /><br />It's plastic coated on one side so when ironed gives enough stickiness to attach to fabric without marking it and can be easily repositioned if you don't get it right first time. <br /><br />You can print on the paper side too. And it saves having to hold the template to the fabric too tightly when tacking.Brazenjanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610175230007663375.post-88211689979824847742011-03-01T22:44:17.000+00:002011-03-01T22:44:17.000+00:00Thankyou for taking the time to put this together....Thankyou for taking the time to put this together.<br /><br />I am going to try and fit in some time (which there isnt a lot of lately), to try this.<br /><br />Yes, you do put such lovely colours together.<br /><br />Cheers<br />FiTea with Prudencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065738620618180181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610175230007663375.post-29674613234343318152011-03-01T22:43:40.984+00:002011-03-01T22:43:40.984+00:00Thank you...it's ages since I did any patchwor...Thank you...it's ages since I did any patchwork but this has really inspired me to start again. <br />I love the way you've used the butterfly motif in the centre and the stripes around it.ahomespunyearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471961342475134140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610175230007663375.post-48765116598814077942011-03-01T22:30:56.344+00:002011-03-01T22:30:56.344+00:00Love your choice of colours Clare and your fussy-c...Love your choice of colours Clare and your fussy-cutting is so very neat!<br />Vivienne xgreenrabbitdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562034074399686544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610175230007663375.post-31508642979266930212011-03-01T22:23:15.621+00:002011-03-01T22:23:15.621+00:00I just found your blog and I really like how you q...I just found your blog and I really like how you quilt and piece !
