I just couldn’t resist starting to put those long strips of hexagons together! This will be an incredibly scrappy quilt — and a lot of fun to look at, I think. So far 6 of the rows are done. For me this is the perfect way to use the hexagons from our latest swap. I think I may surround the main body of the top with one colour, just to calm it down a bit but will make that decision when I have the rows all done.
As I was laying them out, Smudge decided he needed to help. This picture may look angelic — but when he was biting the hexagons I was less than impressed!
Just about all the leaves on the trees on the roof garden are still green. A few have turned, but not many. Lester has been very busy watching the antics of all the critters and birds out on the roof garden.

Can you blame Smudge? Those things look good enough to eat!

That will have an irregular brick look to it when it is done. Very neat. I’ll leave hexagons to your though and stick to my squares and rectangles.

Smudge looks playfully evil. And, as someone else mentioned, “you work so fast!”

He does look innocent! (I’ll post a photo of one of my kitty helpers in a while…That one is far from innocent!)

This is a real nice idea, Cathi! THANKS for the inspiration. I’ve got a BIG tin box, full of orphan hex’s; waiting for a home, and I might use them that way, some day :)XOXOXOXOXOXOXONADINE

Isn’t it great when our pets ‘help’. Stan is a great one for lying on a quilt top when I’m trying to pin it. Love and hugs Gina xxx

This is going to be a gorgeous quilt. Are you hand sewing the strips together? My Schuster likes to get into my quilting things. His latest round of “helping” resulted in a trip to the Vet to remove thread from his tongue.
