Hexagon Friday...

After my little set back last week I have managed to redo a lot of the
de-constructed hexies and I have completed my very first triangle block.  WooHoo!
Looks mighty fine when all the hexies are the same size!!  
hahaha
(this measures 14" long x 8¾" wide)
I have made a final decision on the exact pattern I will be working on while I baste these gazillion hexies.  I have a Pinterest board for Hexies and I've been gathering inspiration pins for awhile now.  I fell in love with a quilt called 'Insanity'.  And I also really like this one (no name).  But I realized I don't have enough decades left to make them both sooooo I've decided I will merge them together to make my own design.  I really like the borders on the Insanity but I love the center of the other quilt.  
So that is my goal .... two....two .... two quilts in one!   
And as I go along I'm sure I'll think of a name.  Right now I'm a blank.  Any suggestions??

  I'll be linking over on A Quilting Reader's Garden.   And also links over to BillieBee's
If you love hexies .... come along and join us.   

I hope you're having a great day. Glad you stopped by.....Linda

  1. WOW!! - You ARE ambitious!! - This gives a whole new meaning to "Borders on Insanity" - haha. And you're right - stuff does tend to fit better when they are all the same size - ;))

  4. Oh, wow! That's going to take a few hexies to finish. I like the name Borders on Insanity - a good mix.
