more hexie work

I have spent the year trying to finish a long term hexie quilt. The main part has been done for awhile and I am finishing the edges to a stopping point. It is a great big puzzle. I need to hand piece bigger sections together before I can add it to the mother ship. I am working on the last side. I have no idea on how I will actually finish the edges. But I have to get there first. Now that I can get outside, it may slow me down on the work.

hexie quilt goal

As an extra quilting goal, I have decided to take my longtime hexie quilt, and, leave it out, until, it is done. Over the years, I have worked on it from time to time, and, then, it gets set aside for more pressing projects and life. I have 1 1 /2 sides to go, and, I think it is time to stick to it, until, it is finished. At this point, it needs to be spread out to work on the bits and pieces to even out the sides. It is big enough that it is cumbersome, and, I don't want to move it every time I add to the mother ship. I have been laying out pieces as I make them and adding them to each other as I can. It has been hard not to add each section right away to the quilt, but I don't want to move it every time.


It has been so long since I started this quilt, that, I can't perfectly match the fabrics. But, that was normal so long ago. And those quilters made do with whatever they had and so am I. 




It is a puzzle. I Can't just blissfully make stars and rosettes. I need to make odd shaped sections that will fill in what is missing.



This corner is done. and the right side and bottom is done. I have one side left to go. But there are big sections that will need work.
