I love the way the colors are glowing in the early morning light.

Aura Hexagon Quilt
I was editing some older photos last week when I realized I have never written a post about my completed Aura hexagon quilt! What? How did that happen? I wrote lots of in progress posts, but somehow missed out on the big one. Here it is, Aura, complete and flying freely on the clothesline, enjoying a little sunshine.
Take a step closer for more detail. This quilt was created over a period of two and a half years.
Take a step closer and you can see the swirly quilting.
The hexagons in this quilt are 3/4" per side. I challenged myself to only use fabrics from my scrap basket.
Take a step closer and you can see the pretty thread colors. I changed thread often, trying to match the hexagon colors as I quilted.
I used this fun dotty fabric for the backing. I think it is a good complement to the hexagons and the playfulness of the design.

The Rainbow Connection Update ~ Hexie Organization
Here is my current progress on The Rainbow Connection. It's getting close to being one big hexagon. As I've been basting and sorting my hexies I came up with a new organization idea.
I have a lot of these old cross stitch floss boxes in my storage camper. My 3/4" per side hexies fit inside just perfectly! Now I can sort them into the color sequence that I need and keep them neatly organized, all ready to sew. I love this idea. I can see myself with ten or so of these boxes all sorted by color and stacked neatly in a bookcase in my studio.
