Happy Handwork
For my birthday, I received two moda honeycomb stacks. I took them on as my handwork project. I can't sit doing nothing very well. So if we watch a movie as a family or go on a car trip I take along some handwork. The last one was my farmer's wife quilt blocks, they are all done and now need sewn together.
I laid out all of the hexagons, but decided they needed just a bit more of something to pull them together.
I picked green!
I found a picture of these hexagon pillows and decided to try that for the design using green in between the hexagons.
I have hand sew all of the hexagons into rows and now just need a few more end triangles and to join the rows.
I thought hand piecing would take forever, but it really goes along quite quickly after a bit. I did find that it makes my points MUCH more accurate than if I were racing along on my treadle or electric machine :)

ReplyDeleteI had to dig a bit to find this...I love the picture on your header! It is so pretty! I just saw a post on how to make this pattern with no y-seams! When I find it again, I'll pass it on!
