HEXAGONS {AN UPDATE}

 

Dilemma....

 

so what do you do with a quilt project that you have been

 

working on FOREVER?....

 

one that you will be working on FOREVER!

 

 

 

Enter the suspect.....

 

my Grandmother's Flower Garden/ Hexagon quilt.

 

(Hello beautiful scraps of Moda fabrics!)

 

Preparing For Isaac

 

 

There is a Hurricane brewing in the Gulf of Mexico.

 

 

My sweet Southern state of Mississippi

is in its projected path.

Last night I should have been at Walmart

(with the rest of the city)

stocking up on water, batteries, and candles.

 

Instead I sent Hubby and  I pulled out

my "untouched for months"

box of "large" scrap pieces.

 

 

 

 

As a Florida girl, this isn't the first storm

that I have been threw.

So my way of planning ahead was to cut up my scraps

and prepare a few projects

just in case

I don't have electricity, cable, or Internet.

 

So after about an hour of cutting,

I had these:

 

 

I cut three different sizes:

5" squares, 2 1/2" squares, and tumbler pieces.

 

 

I plan to spend most of my time

working on my "never ending" hexagons,

but I have the other piles just in case I get bored.

 

Oh yeah, I picked this up the day and I plan to give it

a try.

 

 

Well at least I will be prepared!

 

Until Next Time ... Happy Quilting!

 



Paper Pieced Hexagons {An Update}

The Summer Olympics are over and I was sad to see them end!

I sat down and watched them every night after

the Little Person went to bed.

I knew that I needed a "hand project" to calm my nerves

during all of those memorable "nail-biting"moments.

I dug around in hopes of finding several

projects that I could work on,

but all I could find were my

"old faithful" hexagons.

So here is what I did while watching the Summer Olympics:

Of course, I didn't keep track of how many Grandmother's Flowers

I attached!

I just kept going...and going...and going....

because who knows when I will feel like picking up this project again.

Until Next Time ... Happy Quilting
