I have been doing a bunch of slow stitching so there is not too much progress. I have been hand stitching my hexagons into sets of 4. I can get them into sets of two waiting in the car line then finish the sets into a foursome in the evenings. The pile is growing but I need to prep more teal and catch up for the month of August. I think November and December are going to be black, grey and browns.
I also pulled these extra bits from Emilys 60 degree triangle quilt and had stitched them into these kites. I grabbed two and attempted to get them into a rectangle shape to make a placemat. Lets just say it took a lot longer than I thought it would. I need to measure and see if it needs a little expanding or not. Then a backing, batting and some quilting and a teal binding will finish it off I think.
Linking up with the RSC this week.

hugs, di
such progress with you hexies!! this is going to look really good when all together
That's going to make a great placemat! I love the shapes in it. Looks like you've got a good system for sewing the hexies together, too. I wonder what size 365 of them will make?
Super cute projects, Deb!! I know Emily is happy to see you working on her project.
Your hexies are so pretty in those foursomes!!
Kites are charming in those colors...
Still beavering away in fits and starts on my Falling Leaves...

Even slow progress is still progress. The hexies are a delightful rainbow and the kite blocks will make a terrific small project.
Your hexagons remind me of stained glass and honeycomb!
Love how the hexies are coming together
Beautiful blocks, love the kites!
Pretty little kites there. Good idea to sew them together to make something useful out of them. Yours hexies look great together. It's gonna be a stunner of a quilt! ;^)
