Take Time to Play

Ikea sell the best clock *ever* but I think they should advertise it in quilt magazines!

You get clock hands, and lots of connectable shapes . . .  HEXI shapes! You can clip the hexies together however you want, but I think their idea leaves a lot to be desired

In the hands of a patchworker.  . . .

I've had great fun!  I only got three each of the reds, the yellows and the greens, (come on Ikea, what are you thinking of?) so not enough to make a full flower - but when you know that someone else (waves, hello Jackie) got one at the same time, a little hexi swap may be on the cards!

  6. That is fab. I see there a few people using these clocks as a base for further loveliness by adding fabric to the surface of the hexies.
