Just kidding, it is :) Over the weekend I worked on sewing on binding for one of my Finish-A-Long quilts and starting to apply the background hexies to the GFG quilt. I am glad I chose grey, I love it! I seriously considered black but I am realllllllly tired of black in my quilts. Add to that, all the cat and dog hair that shows up... I already knew I did not want white and I briefly considered green and navy. Because I have those colors already in the flower rosettes, I wasn't completely sold. Years ago I even tried out yellow as a background, but I nixed that quickly.
ETA: I seem to be having issues between flickr and blogger. sorry if this image is huge.
I tossed it up on my design wall to get a quick picture before it fell off :) I'll have to start pinning as it grows. I am halfway done with the first of nine rows, I am sure I will slow down soon enough but for now I am loving it coming together as a top.
I can't believe how fast you are! Amazing! Is there a hand pieced category in your fair? This is so cool!
ReplyDeleteha! I know the fair has been pushed out a month (starts after labor day this year), but I still don't think I would have it done in time.... but the thought did cross my mind to enter it.
DeleteI like the varied shades of Grey in your path hexies. You had a busy stitching week-end.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your Hexie posts, never too many!
Thanks Mary! I am enjoying this "slow" stitching right now.
