Crazy Blocks without piecing

 

Begin playing around with an idea months ago...and came across these just this past week again. So, am motivated to finish off the initial idea...with a few changes of course! In total there will be sixteen hexagon blocks.

Originally the ideas was to do faux-seams for embroidery. But I have so many lace motifs, pretty trims, and handkerchief corners that there is no need for much seam work. I also think that this will be a "washable" project so will not be beading or adding much silk ribbon either.

This block includes some Reverse Chain Stitch "squiggles" as space fillers. This is my new idea and I'm liking it. So, next will be to do this on all of the remaining blocks. NOTE: The acrylic hexagon shows the outside shape which still has to be marked on the fabric.

My question now is how to finish. Do I border each block? Thinking a nice 1-2" floral border for each would work. How about batting, like in a quilt-as-you-go type of project? Do I seam all together and layer as a standard quilt? Do I finish each hexagon independently and then join in EPP type style? Or maybe join the finished units with Blanket Stitch on the edge and crochet together. More questions just floating around in my head. How knows...that's the fun (and challenge) of changing your mind. Ha!
