I decided my fabrics needed to be cleaned up and organized better so I started yesterday. I've ordered comic book backing boards to use for my fabrics to help them stand firmly on the shelf. So far I've used 300 and still have probably another 100 different fabrics to do yet. When I get it all done I'll show you how nice it looks. Stay tuned.
For now I'm back to folding....... right after I link over on Needle & Thread Thursday.
And .... I'm linking to BillieBee's Hexie Friday Blog.
I hope you're having a great day. Glad you stopped by.....Linda
I see three more star points - Woohoo!! - So what color are you thinking you'll use in the centers and the first border? What color haven't you used yet in your stars? - ;))
ReplyDeleteI still haven't completely decided yet on the color. The only 'color' I won't be using in the stars will be black. But I know I don't want to use that for a border. Much too harsh for me. I'm still thinking. You know me.... I take my time and then some. heehee.
DeleteYour hexies are coming along quite nicely!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellen. Yes they are. And I can now see clearly where I'm going with it ..... except for that one color. hahaha
DeleteYour hexies look great! Congrats on getting organized.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leanne. I think I even shocked myself while I was sorting and refolding when I found fabric that I'd forgotten about. It is wonderful to be able to pet it all and fall in love with it all over again.
Deletethese look great! I sooooo do not have the patience for all of that hand work, but I really admire those that do!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing at Needle and Thread Thursday!

Thanks Kelly. You are right.... hand work does take patience that's for sure. But it's such a great way to unwind and go to a quiet place. At least it is for me.
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Looking good! Someday I'll have to try to stick a few of mine together. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeletehahaha Sticking a few together is really encouraging. At least it was for me. Once I could see the design taking shape I got really excited to get more and more sewn.
DeleteThanks for stopping by Billie.
This kind of work isn't going too fast. But it will come together beautifully, and along the way you'll have so much fun and joy. Thanks for showing us.
ReplyDeleteI know. I'm having a wonderful time working on this. I used to work counted cross stitch and then embroidery and then moved on to needleturn. But now hexies have stolen my heart.
DeleteGlad you stoped by
Your project looks fabulous! And it's soooo different from mine (black sashing). I just picked 2 of my fav fabrics for the diamond centers and the "cornerstones" - I never used the fabrics in the rest of the quilt but I did use the same colors. Since your diamond centers are different, could you use a different "cornerstone" fabric that matches the rest of your color scheme?
ReplyDeleteOoo I love black in quilts but I knew I didn't want to use it in this one. I'm thinking I might in my next hexie project. And I have found the fabric I'm going to use for the 1st border and that star center or "cornerstones". I've been sewing some of them on and I'll show you all in a few days.
DeleteThanks for stopping by Sarah. Have a great week.
This looks like a very long-term project! How big are the hexagons? It's looking good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vireya. I'm using 1" hexies and yes I plan to be at this project for a very very long time. I hope I live long enough to finish it. hahaha.
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
