The latest swap of Inklingo shapes was of 1″ hexagons. There were 12 participants trading sets of 7 hexagons, some in each of 10 fabrics and some in each of 20 fabrics. It was a centralized swap which I hostessed — so I got first look at the fabrics as they came in and have got my full set together with the exception of one swapper’s packet.
This is my set — and I was one of the swappers who chose to swap in 20 different fabrics. There are some wonderful fabrics in this gorgeous grouping.
Because we swapped in sets of 7, rather than 6, one could take 1 of each set and save it to go towards a charm quilt of hexagons or to use as flower centres with one of the sets of 6. This is the stack of single hexagons from the swap.
Good thing I love hexagons! I think there is a fairly good-sized quilt to be had out of this swap alone, and it’s not the first of the Inklingo swaps that involved hexagons. I’m not sure yet but am thinking of separating the hexagon sets by colour and may make a garden of flowers that’s graduated in colour. Or perhaps stitching together sets in a row and make a striped hexagon quilt.
It was a lot of fun to see all the different fabrics the participants used. Amazingly enough, there were no duplications between swappers that I noticed.
Smudge isn’t the least bit interested in hexagons — much more interested in having a snooze.

Those hexagons looks great stacked up and waiting for the needle. Smudge is maybe dreaming of hexagons?

Those hexagons look so tempting and the way you describe them makes a girl just want to dive in and start sewing away. I CANNOT wait until you start piecing. It’ll be fun to watch.Smudge told me he had a lot of work to do today by the way. He was over-joyed with the vacuum. It was a lot of work for him.Cat Life is Hard Love, *karendianne./ Living Life at LeeHaven
