#hexiequilt

it’s DONE!!! Coming in at just under 80x90 inches, this turned out to be a monster of a project. I started it at the beginning of April, made all 1,936 hexies during shelter-in-place, and finished putting it together over the last month during quiet days at the shop. There are over a hundred different fabrics represented, vintage and new, with some only appearing on a single hexie. I think it might need to hibernate for a while before I try quilting it. (yes, I do have another EPP project I want to start.)

One corner stitched. It took most of the afternoon. So many tiny stitches.

I have totally not kept up with these lately, as life just keeps getting in the way. #epp #hexieprogressgrandmothersgarden Had sorted out a large bag of them to take to mums to do, but that didn't work out as planned 😬. I've lost track which ones I've taken pictures of now 😂. I was trying to keep them updated on #hexieprogressgrandmothersgarden if you want to see how many so far! #quilt #quilting #epp #englishpaperpiecing #handsewing #wip #moderngrandmothersgarden #hexiequilt #hexielove

With the wind blowing a gale outside I have retreated to the calm of my sewing room. I am working on the last bits of the border on my hexie quilt. I am taking things gently after my long run this morning. I feel like I ran 20km. There may be a power nap happening at afternoon tea time.

#EPP It's getting bigger. So trying to tidy today #busyignoringwashingup but got totally sucked in to "The man who knew to much" on tv, classic Hitchcock movie. Doris Day is soooo good in that movie. Fight in the taxidermists funny as hell. So just sat on the sofa and sewed for a bit and enjoyed it.😁been a stressful week needed it. #glorioushexagons #epp #hexies #sewing #quilting #hexiequilt #hexielove #fussycutting #bedofroeses

Life is hard for a constant quilt companion like my Ripley. I mean, jeeze- I'm such a meenie: I wanna move the quilt around and flip it over and move between the tv and the table all day. SIIIIIGH. 💕💖💕#loveofmylife #catcompanion #quiltcat #gianthexies #quilt #quilting #hexiequilt #almostdone #thepostmodernquilt (at Albany Park, Chicago)
