Colourful
One of my granddaughters in Queensland asked me if I could make a hexagon quilt and then her sister requested one as well. I have never made one before, but I said I would try. It involves cutting out a lot of hexagons in various colours (in their favourite colours) and sewing them together to make a quilt. Once I began sewing, my two granddaughters who live nearby requested one each as well. I am sewing them all by hand, so I will be busy for a while, but I don't mind as I hate sitting idle when watching TV and it is an easy task to get comfortable and pick up my projects. Before I begin I have to tack 1/4 inch seems along all sides of the hexagons to prepare them for sewing together and although it sounds tedious, I am amazed at how quickly they are coming together. I have finished one quilt top and now this is the second. I have added a link showing how the quilt is constructed.
