I don't do handwork. Oh, I know how to do handwork...I can hand piece, hand quilt, embroider, I can do all of that. But - for the most part, I don't do any of that anymore.
So why now, am I paper-piecing hexagons?
 |
| Well - we took a looong (did I say, long? about 1200 miles!) car trip this month - and I needed a car project! I didn't have any quilts needing binding, nothing ready to hand quilt (I DO know how to do that!) - so I gathered some scraps, assembled a quick sewing kit, printed out some sheets of hexagons (thank you google) - and voila, instant car sewing project! |
 |
| Simple, really...cut a squarish scrap, trim to a hex shape leaving about 1/4" margins. Fold edges around the hexie paper, and thread baste the edges around, folding the corners neatly as you go. |
 |
| What will I use them for? A pillow? Small quilt? Or something else? Truth is, I have no idea. But, it's fun! |
