I originally had the idea that some flowers would be made from fabrics from some of the quilts I have made... and then just add flowers of various colours....
But recently, I saw that Lin (in the UK) and a long-time blog friend was joining hexie flowers made by friends. So, I offered to make her one. She then, of course, being a lovely bloggy friend, offered to send me something in exchange....I asked her to make me a hexie flower - I had made her one in yellow with a blue centre, so I asked for hers to be blue with a yellow centre. And she stitched her name in the middle hexie....mmmm clever idea I thought . . .
She also included a piece of fabric that she knew I would love - so I will make a hexie from that - with a yellow centre I think!
Here is the fabric & hexie.
The idea of including hexies from friends appealed to me. So I asked my various sewing groups if they would each make me a hexie flower in fabrics that represented themselves, so that when I saw the flower I would think of them. It was an "optional" request.....no hard feelings if they don't.
I have one so far, from Sandi. Sandi & I both share a love of houses/buildings etc.

Here are the others that I have made so far. Mostly they are made up of fabrics from quilts from the past, but some are using fabrics that I like for one reason or another.
So, maybe if you are a bloggy friend, you would like to send me a hexie flower, using 1" hexies. Entirely optional of course.
And if you want to join in making a similar thing - let me know, and I will reciprocate.
I also have a small Facebook Messenger group going with friends who are making Bigs & Smalls...always happy to add new friends to that group!
