Pre-Vacation

This weekend Shawn and I are heading to the Chicago-area to spend some time with his family.  I decided to take today off work to get a few things done around the house and to have a little relaxation before heading out for the weekend.


I figured this was a great time to make some progress on our niece's quilt.  You know, the one with the colors of a peacock.  :) 




Even after the sexy hexy debacle, I decided that I still liked the hexagon idea.  Only this time, I opted for half hexagons.  Much easier and much less craziness.  I used the method shown here at Comfort Stitching.  The only difference is that I decided to use large hexagons to better show off the prints.





I think this is coming along nicely- if I do say so myself.

I totally agree with you, the hexagons look great - so you're not the only one saying so :)

Cheers,
