Seriously, I have been trying to sit still long enough to get hexagons onto my top. Started this many years ago and was going to applique circle flowers onto it, with circle centers and several leaves surrounding the flowers. Needless to say, it all was going to look very lovely, at least in my mind. For some odd reasons it just didn't happen, every time I traveled, I would carry the circles with me in hopes of basting a few. Something else always captured my attention. I finally came to the conclusion that I just didn't want to applique all those circle flowers on to this scrappy top that was made from a bunch of leftovers. So what to do then? Had to do something, I already had the bias tape vine sewn on.(note to self, would I ever use a store bought bias tape for something like this again? Probably, better to make my own). Well, a vine calls for some sort of leaves or flowers, right? Project was set in plain view for a couple of weeks. After walking by it an looking at the poor unfinished piece, it was just sort of naked, and seemed to cry out for more. I finally decided hexies was it. There, the hardest part accomplished. A decision made. Now just for the physical actions to get done.

 

I first got hooked on hexagons by making the Hexagon Flowers Doll Quilt from Kathleen Tracy's book, The Civil War Sewing Circle. Oh! My! They became an addiction! It never hurts to have some extra paper pieces around just in case the mood strikes.
