Welcome to my turn on the Where Flowers Bloom blog hop. A big thank to Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks for hosting us. We must be a handful sometimes. Here is the schedule for today's bloggers. I have included the full schedule at the bottom of my post for you to be able to check out what everyone has created for this blog hop.

I had a plan when I signed up to do this blog hop. I had to factor in the fact I was going to be away all of May so the plan was to do a combination of machine piecing and English Paper piecing so I could stitch while I was away. Then there would only be a little bit of machine sewing when I got home and write up my blog post.
The easiest choice was the floral fabric I wanted to use. That was Garden Delights by Gray Sky Studio. I have used it a few times recently. So while I was away I managed to stitch up five hexagon flowers. You just have to have hexagon flowers for a flower themed blog hop.

In the end I only used three for my Garden Delights table runner as I was running out of time.

This is what the back of my Hexagon flower looks as I remove the papers before I appliqued them on to the 6 1/2 " background squares. Then added some flower sashing and borders.
