Suddenly obsessed with hexies...

Ok so I have to say that I am suddenly obsessed with hexies.  I see the nuts at physical therapy everyday laying so nicely in a bin and think that would make an amazing quilt and through looking at all the quilts in my books and online I decided that I had to make some...

I found free hexagon graph paper at incompetech, printed some out on to a light card-stock, cute it out, and starting digging through my scraps.  I am guessing that if I want an entire quilt in these that I will need around a thousand of them.  So for now I am going to just play around and see what I come up with. I do have an idea for a super cute summer skirt and dress that will utilize them when it gets a little warmer.


So Sunday I went back to the Super Bolt Sale... I couldn't help myself.  They had a line of fabrics that I love in the sale room so I picked up a yard of 6 of the different prints, all retro inspired from the 30's and 40's.  So now I am up to 25 1/3 yards of fabric for the year... I think I have a fabric addiction.

So I have finished a couple little projects that I will write about soon.  I am working on my retro quilt and the solid table runner.  I have done nothing on the halloween quilt, my dress, my t-shirt quilt, or my Hawaiian quilt.  I fell like such a slacker looking at this, but I spend a lot of time at my machine.  Though, physical therapy takes up 4 hours of my day 3 times a week right now.

Oh well... it will all get done eventually.
