"Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row." TaDa. Here I present to you my pretty maids since I saw you last. My garden is starting to take over my house! That's an inside joke. Last week I sat in front of the TV one night and cut out 200 paper pieces to have ready. That only took 2 hours but I did have a sore thumb and fingers and thought it was time to order in the precut paper templates. As you can see I'm using only what scraps I have on hand for my flowers which is one of the challenges to myself. I have decided that 2010 is the year I deplete my scrap stash. I don't have much compared to some of you in the Blogosphere but am happy nevertheless to use whatever I find. Since I have never made a scrap quilt (all of mine have been totally coordinated) I find it a bit difficult at the moment because the urge to coordinate is still there but I am making progress using the Hexagon as a "cutting edge tool of technology" to help me along with a laissez-faire attitude. Hope you all enjoy my flowers.

I love scrap quilts and a hexie quilt is the perfect quilt for your scraps. Beautiful
Here's to ALL of us reducing our stash successfully -- if that's what we want. (my goal too)
Your flowers are all pretty, varied, and I enjoy seeing them posing so prettily.
I enjoyed seeing how you creatively arranged your fabric flowers. They make such cheerful tablescapes!
Lovely hexies! toni xxx

They look gorgeous spilling out from the greenery.
What great flowers!! I especially like the top one with the kitty face in the center. I, too, am using only scraps and fabric I already have to make my flowers. I have been tempted to buy more but so far have resisted.
Gorgeous hexie flowers. I love them.
Lovely flowers you are displaying from your flower garden. You really made alot of progress this week:)
What a fantastic garden Brigitte... they look beautiful
Very nice flowers! I cut my own papers too but not so many at a time. Thinking I might order some pre-cuts too!
Such pretty flowers growing inside your home! Love each and every one.
I do enjoy your flowers Brigitte! Always so lovely.
