Hexagon Stripe Progress

The fourth row was added Friday evening. I’m going to try to keep adding a row a week but now that the Patchwork of the Crosses collection has arrived, I have a feeling everything is going to take a back seat to those wonderful blocks.

My second POTC block is halfway done. I’m having a lot of fun with this one — playing with fabric placement, fabric types and colours. It’s definitely a lot wilder than my first POTC block!

What an absolutely great long weekend this is turning out to be, albeit rather chilly. We even had a frost warning for Sunday night. But the best part of it, for me, is playing with the POTC blocks.

Beginning of the Hexagon Lap Quilt

This wasn’t the picture I planned on posting but, for some reason, I seem to be unable to upload photos. From the various hexagon swaps we’ve had on the Inklingo list of 1″ hexagons, I have made strips of hexagons. I knew that a traditional GFG was not what I wanted to make with that size of hexagons and have been stitching them into rows for ages. Over the weekend, I finished stitching the hexagons into rows and spent a few hours Sunday night arranging and rearranging the rows so that the same fabrics wouldn’t be immediately adjacent. Now I’ve begun stitching the rows together. This will take a while to complete but is the perfect mindless stitching I need some evenings.

There was progress on the rainbow too. The reds are finished and the first row of purple diamonds is halfway done.

There have been more fabulous giveaways added to the InklingoProjects blog Great Inklingo Giveaway. There’s one of hexagon butterflies that is amazing!

Because there’s almost always a kitty picture in every post, I copied this from an old post. Hopefully tomorrow I can post the pictures I was hoping to post today!
