July has been a bit of a non sewing machine month. I did manage to make one hexagon QAYG for each day this month (I know there are 30 here but I think the other one got in with the light blues in the box). I did attach a few together and decided I like the standard whip stitch over the one from the Daisy and Grace tutorial on my tab. It is quicker and seems to hold better. I think I am going to do sets of 4 colors together and then will start putting them together. It will be time to pull the teal/aqua pile off the shelf and prep some Hexagons for the month of August.
Linking up with the RSC.
I have been searching for the backings I know I purchased.... I plan to prep a couple of quilts for hand quilting - the Endless Diamonds (which decided it was ok as is and I don't need to add a border!) and the Flowering Snowballs. I'd better get off and do it since I have been meaning to do this for the last week and have yet to do it!

Fun to see all your blue hexies! Groups of four together sound like a great idea. Good luck finding those backings - getting things prepped for quilting is a big job, but so nice to get it done!
your mention of backings reminds me to start keeping an eye out for wide backs on sale I will have about 3 quilt tops by the end of the year in the basket waiting in line I like to have backings in the box ready to go when I'm ready to put them on the frame
I like how your blue hexies are coming together...I am managing to sew mine together one at a time...
stay safe there...
hugs, Julierose
Congrats on completing them. My focus this month was starting new quilts.
Your hexagons are splendid together, and you've done so many!
