I’ve been inspired by a blog I read the other day to make smaller hexies. I like what I saw so much I immediately started in on a smaller hexie quilt. This one will literally take me a very long time to complete, but once I’m done I will really have a very special quilt. This will mostly just be a scrap quilt, the only fabric I will purchase is the neutral color between the flowers. It will be in color rounds and I’ve decided the center of the flowers will all be from the red/pink family….the only exception will be when I make red flowers and I think the centers will be a yellow then. My little sister Val is busy cutting out the 1/2” hexies from card stock, so that is one nasty job I won’t have to do! You can find hexie templates on many different websites for free. 
The large blue hexie is made from 1” hexies and the smaller is 1/2” hexies. They are very tiny compared to the larger ones. Lots of stitching by hand! I love it! I think I might have a hard time being motivated enough to finish my larger hexie quilt now! I am very close to finishing it….so maybe I’ll get it done…..I can only hope.
I’ve been horrible about working on my Farmer’s Wife Quilt….I only have 9 more blocks to make and it will be done. These last few are taking me as long as it took to make the first 100! It’s like torture to finish these last few…..I will force myself if I have to……Ugh…..
And last is a picture of my new toy….my husband came home with this yesterday afternoon. A Samsung tablet…..it’s been fun to play with. Tons I don’t know yet, but I can get around on it a little bit. I love the kindle book app on it, much better than reading from a kindle.
I also got 35 bags of corn froze this weekend. It makes me feel good to have it in the freezer. Yummy!
Well, another week has started. Have a great day!
Happy quilting, Kris
