WORKING ON 41

Here is block 41 Sew South from the Splendid Sampler.


I wanted to fussy cut the motif for each hexie, so I made a little window using the large hexie.
I traced around the medium hexie and cut out the hole.  Using part of a Ziploc baggie, I taped the plastic to the large hexie over the cutout.


Then I arranged it over the motif, using a pen, I traced the pattern onto the plastic, then traced around the outside of the large hexie - which would be the cut lines.
I then lined up my tracery onto the next motif and traced around for the cut out lines.  I did that six times.




 

Now I just need to applique the parts to the background fabric and I'll be done!
