No, I'm not hexagon obsessed, really.. more 3/8" and 1" sided hexies

Yep, I'm on a roll with hexagons. I'm obsessed, really I am. I've got 4 pencil cases full of hexies, and 6 of those craft containers with dividers full of basted hexagons.

DH just found out that he is sent to Boston for 4 days and I'm going along with him and our DD. So I figure that the car drive up to Boston will be a great time to put them together.

I have 600 of the 3/8" hexies basted and about half of them are in flowers - and those flowers are currently in the room past my DD's (and she's sleeping now!! a rare feat) so I'm not going any where near her room lest I disturb her.

In case anyone wants to know, I'm being eco-friendly. All my hexagon templates are cut from a plastic template that I made, then trace that template on cereal boxes and Smart Ones boxes.

These are 2 of the 3/8" hexagon flowers.


I have a whole bunch of these hexies basted - this is just one small handful.


Here are some of the larger flowers. They do have a center, and at the time of the picture, they didn't, but they do now.


And here's ONE of the craft/pencil boxes. Both of the sides are full of basted hexies, the two centers have some of the cardboard templates in it. And I still have 3 more cereal boxes ready to cut up.

I'm officially Insane.

I'm doing it. Finally figured out a use for all my 1" squares that I've been saving. I'm going to make a miniature quilt (maybe bigger, I have a ton of 1" squares). Each of the finished hexagons is 3/8"!!

I have over 50 of these basted, but wanted to share my first flower with everyone!

Hexagons.. a new obsession

I found something to do on my lunch break! English Paper Piecing!! This one little flower took me over 2 hours! No one wants to see the back of it, but it's ok - I'll get better the more I practice.




Wonder how many flowers I can get done on lunch now?? Now I've got a great portable obsession. If we can still afford to go on a vacation, I'll have something to do in the car ride.
