I have decided to share with you one of the very slow projects I am working on. It is a project that I am really excited about, but I have no deadline because it will be for me. I am making a Hexagon Charm quilt. I was inspired by this website. You can follow my progress on my project bar on the sidebar.
My 8 year old really likes to sew things by hand, so he has joined me and is attempting to make his own quilt. I have chosen to use 1 inch hexagons, he is using 2 inch hexagons. I expect I will be helping him complete his too, but what a treasure it would be if he can finish it!
The 1 inch hexagon quilt will have 1,173 hexagons and the 2 inch will have 297. We have a long way to go!
Here is my progress so far:
Cut, Ironed and Basted |

He is using 4 1/2 inch squares to make his hexies.
