Thanks to Mdm Sam of Sew We Quilt and Debby of Debby Kratovil Quilts!

I was and still am excited about this hop. I loooove hexies! I can’t wait to see everyone’s projects. Unfortunately for me I didn’t get finished. So today I’m not the Hexie Queen. lol On top of remodeling our house, I took on a summer job. Our homeschool just started last week too. (*deep breath*) 🙂
So, getting on with project, I bought some hexie templates with the idea of machine sewing them. It worked out pretty good for the most part I just need more time to finish. Not enough time in a day.
So here is what I bought
and here is as far as I got.
I used fabric from my stash. I started out thinking I was going to make a bed runner. My reasoning for that was I had comforter that stayed folded at the end of my bed for like.. 7 yrs. (it did come off to get washed, lol) No kidding, I made the bed with it maybe 5 times. I really didn’t like the comforter. So while purging and donating items, I just threw the comforter in the donate box. Then I thought “I just make a bed runner to lay on the bed”, but my husband wouldn’t like the girly colors. So I changed my mind and now here I am, a lap quilt.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by. I really appreciate all the lovely comments and encouragement. You are really wonderful. Your comments are the best part of these hops.
Here is today’s hop schedule and have a wonderful time hopping.

I too am in the middle of a long-term hexagon quilt for my bed. I got distracted by a pattern I saw online at ReannaLilydesigns.com and so I made myself two 22″ wallhangings. I finished one this morning and posted it on flickr:
I have the second ready to bind. Thank you for sharing.
