Fairy Frost, Day Five

I truly love these sparkling blenders. And they really DO sparkle! Here's a sneak peek at my Christmas in July post as I needed to pre-wash my Fairy Frost before combining them with the Minky. They were a little worried, but I assured them they would be fine in the washer - just a little bath before bedtime!

Fairy Frost about to get a bath!

I made 6 large Grandmother's Flower Garden blocks with that first set of matching Fairy Frost and Gingham Play. Aren't these yummy? Candy with no calories!

Here are my blocks from the back. You can see how I stitch these hexagons. And my papers were cut from a variety of card stock that I had.

And aren't they beautiful from the front?

Still unsure how I'm going to combine them with the others that used the Cotton Couture for the centers. It will eventually come to me! In the meantime, I was busy stitching some little hearts. These are called jewels and two jewels make a heart.

I'm auditioning them on some blocks I made 2 years ago using a Michael Miller holiday collection. Isn't this fun?

Cute little trees on that center navy square:

And one more, which is my favorite! I combined those little hearts with my Grandmother's Flower Garden block. I used a 15" background square with little pink stars on it. I am making 3 more hearts to finish this.

I was able to get the last 3 hearts done and stitched in place. Now, which version do you prefer?

• Single heart at the top (sitting in the "v" of the Garden block

• Two hearts at the top (left and right)

I've not seen this combination of hearts and hexagons before. Have you? Maybe I've created something unique?!! I'm going to work on the other 5 blocks and see if I can find some other background fabrics for them. These will be my Dancing Hearts in My Grandmother's Flower Garden!

Hope you enjoyed my Fairy Frost week.
