Here a Hexie, There a Hexie

 This week I pulled out my Accuquilt Go and did some taming of the scrap bin.

 I like to cut my scraps into hexagons.  I use the smallest size on the Accuquilt Hexagon die.

 I do all the basting prep work while watching TV or front porch sitting.

Then, the hexagons are sorted by color and put into zipper bags or, a cross stitch floss box.  

This is Aura, the first hexagon quilt I've completed.

I'm working on The Rainbow Connection, a completely improv quilt.

I have some more ideas in my head for other hexagon quilts.  I may begin another one before finishing The Rainbow Connection.  We'll see...

Oh kitty!  See Shadow doing a photo bomb in this pic?  How considerate of him to stay off the quilt top.  This is getting so exciting!  I'm almost finished filling in the corners.  I might finish that bit tonight.  What are you working on?

I've been back to it, sewing on my hexie project again.  I'm almost finished making it back into a huge hexagon by adding blue hexies in the star corners.  Next, I'm considering filling in the corners to make a big square and finishing it off.  What do you think?  All hexies are 3/4" per side, cut out with my Accuquilt Go, and made from my scrap basket.

The Rainbow Connection Update ~ 09-26-18

After a day's worth of sitting at the computer writing a new quilt pattern, it felt good to get out in the sunshine and take an updated photo of the Rainbow Connection hexie quilt.  Ahhhhh.....outside!

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.

Aura

Quilt Size:  45" x 45"

Hexie Size:  3/4" per side
