Hexagons, Hexagons and More Hexagons

One of my Quilter’s Emergency Kit boxes contains hexagons. Well, a lot of hexagons. I printed thousands of the Inklingo .50″ hexagons thinking I’d do the Insanity quilt. I decided against it and have been playing around with ideas since then. So far I’ve made a few of the hexagon diamonds and some flowers.


I’ve also started putting together these little 4-hexagon units. This will be a long-term project but an idea is slowly coming together in my mind that will utilize the hexagon diamonds, flowers and the 4-hexagon units.


These are some of the cut and uncut hexagons for the project. I love being able to just pick them up and stitch whenever I need a hexagon fix. No basting, no whip stitching, just lots of running stitches. As they are rather small hexagons, it takes no time to have a seam done.

Monday was a very grey day here. Lester snoozed.


Smudge awake. In the background, you can just see Lester sleeping on the couch.
