Hexagon sewing



Once upon a time long ago... I was introduced with sewing hexagons.

This little number pictured below, 
and from my photo-archives,
 is 2 rows of built & offsetting hexagons 
appliqued onto an off-white cotton block. 



The Hexagon Class-session Blocks  
 to this day, fill my block library of UFO's.




Though completed all class blocks, decisions changed for 
making the blocks into just one Quilt.
More or less, reserving that sun, forever shining 
among a library of blocks... 
aka UFO'S. 

Just maybe..., it's time to pull those out 
and make something all bright and of new!

My latest Quilt

Been busy finishing up with a new baby quilt this weekend. I decided 2 weeks ago, to make another Puff/biscuit/pillow quilt.  As soon as I located and purchased fabric for the puffs, I was right on it.  And to my luck, I already had a bag of filling and plenty of muslin for the backside to make the pillowing puffs. All I needed was the rainbow of pastel fabrics.  For this quilt, color choices included yellow and purple  with a few coordinating prints with hints of pink  after all, this is to be made for a newborn baby girl just born last week! I'm almost done today  and rather excited for it to be soon gifted.  However first, wanted to organize my journal progresses and edit my notes.  That made me begin to wonder, how many quilters really do journal their progresses  with notes, and as one is working on a project or quilt. I began to note how much better my work was flowing and as I kept up on my notes....
