Well, I finally broke down and started a hexagon project. It's a nice sit-on-the-couch-and-watch-TV project in the evening. I am probably going to go through my orphan charm packs and chop them into quarters - and maybe find someone to do some swapping with. I want a totally scrappy quilt. Hopefully not repeating any materials. We'll see how that works out. It will probably take me years to complete, LOL.
I easily completed I think 60 hexies in two short evening sessions. Love the lazy eyed owl, hehe :) I am using
Texas Freckles print-out for the hexies - and using a Sewline glue pen instead of thread basting. I am LOVING the glue pen! I bought two pens (one to give to my mom), but I'm seriously thinking about
hoarding keeping it for myself. I see that I need around 1200 hexies for an approx 50x60 quilt - that size quilt just won't 'do' of course, has to be bigger! I am thinking it will probably need to be more like 3000 hexies, OYE.
I also worked on my DS quilts blocks - got 6 more of the 'churndash' blocks done. It's so time consuming to trim up all those little HST's! My left leg goes numb when I stand at the cutting table too long, so I have to switch between cutting and sewing, which hampers progress.
