If you had asked me a year ago about sewing together hexagons by hand, I would have laughed... or used some colorful language. Probably both.
Except little hexagons are actually adorable. And fussy cut hexagons are even more adorable. And what a perfectly non-boring way to use scraps... and cutting them up is easy with, say,
a Sizzix die-cutter. I mean they practically make themselves, right? Right?
It really is the perfect project for sewing on the go. Two weekends hosting old friends and then a wonderful weekend at a "summer camp themed wedding" took me away from my sewing machine, but my trusty little English paper piecing kit was able to come right along with me. Stitching during a long car ride? Yes. Paper piecing by the lake? Double yes.
In all honesty I started this project months ago, but I've never blogged about it. My plan is to make a coordinating pillow for my
Good Fortune Quilt and
Rainbow Window Pillow. It sure is slow going, but I am making progress. The only problem? It looks great, until I zoom out and see how much more I have left to do!
Ah well. Slow and steady, right?
Linking up with WIP Wednesdays at Freshly Pieced ... because this one is sure to be in progress for quite some time!
