Hexy Beginnings

A while back I decided that I wanted to make a epp hexy quilt with scraps from all of my quilts.  I like handwork and I liked the idea of a portable project.

This past weekend, I finally got around to starting it :)  General Conference for our church was the perfect opportunity :)


My hubby traced 1" hexies for me and cut them out.


I glue basted the individual hexies and then started stitching them together :)


I am not sure how I will put them together yet.  I will likely wait to decide until I have a few more [thousand] done  :)

    Hi Marion-I'm going to be in Utah from the 17-25 and I was wondering if you could give me a list of your lovely quilt shops that I could visit. I'm going to be mostly in Provo helping my dad and sisters sort through my mom's stuff but I will be in North SL too for several days. I was envious of your trip with Emily and I would love to visit some fun shops while I'm there. We just started a quilt group in my stake and it was SOOOO fun!!

    You do have a lot of hexies there. I still have to learn how to do them as good as you. It isn't something that I do very well. Good job.

    That is amazing that your hubby helps you with your quilting. Mine "helps" by staying in the garage and walking the dog! Your hexies look wonderful.
