Hexagons, hexagons, hexagons

It has been awhile since I had an update on my hexagon quilt.  After making a significant amount of progress in our travels to and from Hawaii, I lost a bit of steam on the project.  I tend to only work on my hexagons in the car, and since we haven't done a lot of traveling lately, my quilt has been a bit neglected.  There has been some progress to report though.


I have 154 sewn together.


I have 17 flowers sewn together waiting to be added to the others.


And 1072 total hexagons completed!

I went through a lull on this project, too. But now I've completed my goal of over 1500 hexies made. Now I've just got to get a technique down and start sewing them together!
Then I'm thinking of getting it longarmed...outlines around the hexies if possible.

Amazing, this is definitely the kind of project where you want to keep track of the number of pieces!

Gorgeous! I love that photo of all of them color-coordinated in that plastic case. The first quilt I ever made was a Grandmother's Flower Garden and never really thought I'd make another hexagon quilt, but all those blocks look so tempting!
