The end is in sight! All 8 sections are pieced. Now to stitch all those sections together to get a finished quilt! All hand pieced and stitched starting in Jan 2021 with one per day 'ish'. My quilt as you go hexagons have 384 hexagons with a 2 inch finished size. It is 68x88 inches - so a very large quilt! I used extra warm and natural batting pieces for the batting on this - a great use of those cut off edges from other quilts.
I finished up the last section on Wednesday and then the kids and I headed to the beach for a few days. Hubby had to stay home and continue with his college online classes.... and took care of the animals. We go over to Cocoa Beach since hubby used to live on Merritt Island in the 90's and worked for a company with offices on the beach in Cocoa.
Some beach sunflowers on the walk to the beach.
Thursday night was a full moon at the beach.
Friday - jumping the waves. They went and got the boogie boards after this. The waves were great for that.
Sunrise Friday morning. Not quite above the clouds at this point.
I love watching all the birds at the beach.
I remembered to bring the Bocci Ball set this time. We played a bunch of this at the beach.
The Falcon 9 rocket launch very early Saturday morning (12:42AM) from the beach. The boy was very happy. The rumble of the rocket is amazing.
After a great nights sleep in our own beds, I am enjoying my last day of vacation with a little sewing. Linking up with Kathy and the other Slow Sunday Stitchers.

The quilt is wonderful and the end is in sight now for you. Great way to use all those smaller pieces of batting. the plants on the beach are always so interesting as you really rarely see them any other place

Your Hexie quilt is awesome! And your beach trip looked lovely to.
Your hexie project is amazing! I really like that a few of the hexies have a coloured frame instead of all light frames - it really makes your eye move around the quilt.
What a special treat to be able to swim in the moonlight - - very wonderful memories for your family!
What a great getaway for you all... ;)00
