Yesterday I spent hours trying to come up with the design for my English Paper Piecing Hexie Flower Quilt. This is just the neat version.
Trying to pair up various white backgrounds with flowers and their centers proved to be an impossible feat. I was convinced their must be a way to layout this quilt perfectly, but today I've just had to accept that creativity cannot be scientifically organized, as I tried to do on my Easter egg like quilt plans that I created many versions of.
Eventually you have to accept the imperfections and get to work piecing it together.
If I wanted it to be perfect it sould have had to be planned on paper before sewing the squares up.
But I had no idea where this qiilt was going when I started English Paper Piecing these hexies. I guess I prefer a more organic approach to quilt design. Do what makes you happy, throw it all intk a basket and see what you pull out.

Well we finally got to experience the best of Swiss Winter weather, even if it was just for a few days.
We overnighted in Berghaus Sulzfluh : right on the mountain, which is an hour or more so hike or snowshoe up the mountain, we did it from the Bus Stop Rüti above St. Antönien in 1hr 20 with a lot on our backs, the snow falling and snowshoes on our feet.
The dhort stay was a great way to spend quality time together, eating great food from the charming restaurant, playing canasta ( cards) and for me, sewing and reading, with some snowshoeing mixed in. It was a little wierd with no Wi-fi, but I survived!
We chose one of the private 'modern' rooms with its own bathroom/shower, and couldn't have been more comfortable. Of course we could have roughed it, with a dorm style room and shared facilities, but that wasn't necessary.
Most of the overnight guests were off-piste (back country) skiiers #tourenski #backcountryskiing.
We've been to this hut once before in the summer and we've been multiple times to this special little valley in Prättigau, Graubünden. On Austria's border.
Would totally recommend this mountain restaurant/ hut/ hotel and area.... for #hiking #rockclimbing #snowshoeing #walking #backcountryskiing #mountainrestaurant
