I had enough clips to prep 16 hexagons yesterday. I have one more in teal from a previous set. I was lucky and had all the batting cut already and most of the cream backing. When I decided to do cream for one set, I pulled larger pieces in red, blue, yellow and green for some pop on those. I liked having some color on the back of the quilt in other rows. These quilt as you go blocks will eventually be part of the last 2 rows I want to add to my existing quilt I finished a few years ago. I have 2 strips read to add to the quilt but will wait and add all 4 at the same time.... hopefully in the next few months. If I can stitch one or two a day, they should be done fairly quickly. It takes longer to prep them than to stitch them. I pulled a 10 inch stack of fabrics and actually cut into it to make these. I decided, time to use things up and move things out!
This is the original quilt. It wanted to be a bit wider than the 66x88 it is. Adding 4 rows should make it 88x88 I believe. The link to more info on this one is
here which is one of the tabs up above.
You are so right that these hexies take longer to prep than to stitch! This is already a beautiful quilt, Deb. Making it bigger is just making it even better!
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely , Deb. Enjoy working on your new hexies. I look forward to seeing them incorporated into the quilt.
