My blog has been a long time coming, Daisy & Grace keeps me so busy, I wish I had a couple more days in a week...LOL. I hope it is worth the wait and hopefully you will be creating lots of your own nesting bowls.
I love useful and decorative storage so this project ticks lots of boxes, or should I say ‘Bowls’.
My nesting bowls use ‘QAYG’ Hexagons along with a Diamond or even a Triangle. I have used the 3 ½” Hexagon with the 3 ½” Diamond, the 2 ½” Hexagon with the 2 ½” Triangle and the 1 ¾” Hexagon with the 1 ¾” Diamond.
What will you need to create these?

Cutting:
Cut 1 x Hexagon and 6 x Diamond outers in the Backing fabric.

I actually made all these boxes from the off cuts from my 3 1/2" Hexagon Circles quilt, so not only are they pretty and useful they are a great stash buster.
