I have been slowly working on hand stitching and quilting these Hexagons all year now. I was thinking one per day but life happens and occasionally I get behind. I have stitched all through November 30 and prepped a bunch for December in blacks yesterday. I do love that cat print at the bottom - it was the backing of Aidan's baby quilt from 13 years ago and I am almost out. I just have a little rectangle of it left. I have a few more black prints to use for the rest and then will swap to some grey's.
This is the collection and most are stitched into their groups of 4 by color.
These are the extra's - from months not divisible by 4. I have a feeling there are a few more hiding somewhere....
I started this afghan for Emily a couple of years ago. Think I should work on finishing it up for her for Christmas? I started going around the edge to make it a little wider at this point. It seems she has grown in 2 years and wants it a little wider and longer now! It is a pretty light purple in a Caron yarn but the photo does not show it well.
I'll have the scissors out and will be cutting down jeans and some heavier weight shorts for a Memory quilt today. Sigh... Christmas is approaching really quickly. Other than a few errands (Publix to grab a Prime Rib and Joanns for denim needles and a present for girl scouts tomorrow night), picking up the front rooms for our gs holiday party tomorrow night I will be stitching and cutting. I hope to have Greg do the kid pick up tonight so I get a few more hours at the house.
Linking up with Kathy and the other Slow Sunday Stitchers.
Busy days leading up to Christmas!! I am looking forward to seeing your quartets of Hexies come together ; nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYour hexie project looks like the perfect place for the last little bit of the cat fabric - a good memory! Good luck with getting things done on the denim quilt. Is it meant to be a Christmas present?
ReplyDeleteThe thought of stitching one hexie a day, all year, is rather comforting to me. I like the sound of a memory quilt. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeletethat is going to look so pretty when you get the hexies put together - how large (or small ) do you think it will be? I was going to start a hexie project and have barely been able to get going on it - maybe in the new year.
ReplyDeleteYour hexies look wonderful! I'm still making mine (inspired by your post) and have fallen about 5 days behind. I'm so eager to see how your set of 4 come together. That design is new to me. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely afghan!
Slow and steady wins the race. I never even started yet.
ReplyDeleteLots Of wonderful fabrics in your hexies!
ReplyDeleteI did some cutting yesterday, too, but left the wayward shirts to deal with another day. Hoping those jeans were better behaved and you got them all cut!
