Flowers or Snowflakes

Are these flowers or snowflakes?

It's hard to tell in Colorado.

I've been working on hexagon blocks
for the Di Ford's pattern, Route 66.

 They're as addictive as 
chocolate Easter eggs.
They just take a lot longer to make
than unwrapping a piece of chocolate.


If the weather stays warm,
I'll call them flowers.

If not,

 they'll be snowflakes for
a little while longer.
We'll have to wait and see.
Oh, oh,
did I just see a snowflake
drift by the window?
 Until Next Time-

  2. Oh if only hexies grew on trees! How many lovely quilts we could make. I love these photos, what a fun idea. You can stay warm inside making more until spring really does arrive.

  3. Pretty wonderful snowflakes there! Springtime in Colorado sounds a lot like spring in western NY state, 65 one day and snow the next. But spring does eventually prevail...hopefully soon!

  13. Hexies are SO much fun - love the fussy cutting you've done on some of these. What size papers are you using? I'll have to do a search and see if I can find a picture of the finished quilt.

  14. These are so pretty, they will pass as either to me, because I love both. Your fabric choices, and fussy cutting have made some really pretty flower/flakes.
    I admire those of you that find hexies addictive. If I did, maybe I would have a finished hexie project, instead of two UFOs. : )

  19. I wouldn't mind snow in Florida if it were the kind hanging in your pine tree. I'd gather up enough for a quilt or two in no time.

  22. What a great start to your journey down Di's Route 66 - such a wonderful quilt - aren't they all! Snowflakes here too in the northwoods - fortunately the kind that melt quickly this time of year!! I much prefer your more permanent hexies!

  24. Gorgeous Kyle. Given the date on the calendar I say you call them flowers, but this weekend we are getting hit with a Polar Vortex so they might be snowflakes for the next few days. Either way, they are beautiful.
