While trying to be tidy...

A few weeks ago I decided to try and be a little bit more tidy in my sewing 'spot'. I took a good look at the space, moved 'stuff' from one spot to another, located a thing or two that had been missing and found a little pile of fabric already sorted waiting to become 'something'! I had a quick look at that something I had drawn up some time ago and decided - no - that wasn't it, but wait, this new idea was! The space is still a mess (more on that in a later post) but this group of fabrics has started to turn into a new quilt. Not sure of it's name yet but if all goes according to plan you will see it finished soon.
These were the fabrics I discovered under the mess that is called my work space!
Some of the fabrics turned themselves into hexagons.  I am STILL in love with hexagons!
And these two prints, which fortunately I had loads of, were joined by some Tea Stain background and are now transformed into an Irish chain.

 I am not 100% sure how this quilt will end, but I am enjoying every step along the way,

 Until next time,










p.s. Merrimack is quilted, the binding is on and it's ready for a photo. I'll show you how its going next time!

    I love your hexies and it was through the Australian/New Zealand quilters that I found the love of hexies and now I am addicted to them as well - in fact I think hexies are becoming popular world wide!
