Journey to Nebula - Lucky Charm Finishing from Quilting Affection

 


Welcome back to my Journey 2 Nebula blog posts. I got a little behind on my blog for Week #3, finishing the "Lucky Charm" pillow.  If you would like to see how I cut my Half Hexagons pieces check out my blog post on Cutting the Star 60 way, HERE.


The first thing I did after I finished cutting out my pieces was to arrange them the way I wanted the pillow to look in the front. 


Once I had them all arranged, I still had 10 of the Half Hexagons leftover, which will be filled in on the sides ...
