Rainbow hexie quilt finally finished. Top all handstitched from reclaimed materials.
it’s DONE!!! Coming in at just under 80x90 inches, this turned out to be a monster of a project. I started it at the beginning of April, made all 1,936 hexies during shelter-in-place, and finished putting it together over the last month during quiet days at the shop. There are over a hundred different fabrics represented, vintage and new, with some only appearing on a single hexie. I think it might need to hibernate for a while before I try quilting it. (yes, I do have another EPP project I want to start.)
I am entering the #fussycuttingsewalong lines giveaway hosted by @naomialicec . From top left Week 5 radiating lines inner (and in-the-round lines outer). Week 6 love freestyle inner (and in-the-round outer). Week 7 in-the-round lines. Week 8 diagonal lines outer. Swipe to see the extras I did or finished this month. I have also been experimenting with the #decobob thread @nohatsquilts sent me as part of a prize. And so far it's good for piecing and hand sewing, it's taking some getting used to but I keep picking it up to use so it must be ok 😁👍. #wonderfilspecialtythreads #wonderfil #decobobthread #epp #englishpaperpiecing #quiltersofinstagram #handsewing #quilt #hexies #hexielove #starflower #fussycuttingcrew #katemustsewdiamonds https://www.instagram.com/p/BugxGPtHxxm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17ifgd0762xai
Last #hexie went walk about, so cobbled this together from the last thin scrap I had 😂 😂. That's all the flowers done for my #grandmothersgardenquilt now for the paths, or maybe not. I have to get them all out and lay them out to assess where to go with it next. I'm gonna do that at the next #hampshiremqg there should be plenty of space. No room at mine 😂. #hexieprogressgrandmothersgarden #hexielove #hexies #epp #englishpaperpiecing #englishpaperpiecingeverywhere #handsewing #slowsewing #sewbyhand #modernhexies https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbgK-7Hhhu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p1wesy0bbvwg

#wip longest one is this #grandmothersflowergarden quilt which I will finish 😂......one day! #greatbritishquilter @sarahashfordstudio @verykerryberry it's getting there I have all the fabric I need. Thanks to some generous quilty friends. It's a project I get out when I'm wanting to not think about anything, I can zone out and just carry on with it. Let my fingers go on autopilot. I've made all the decisions already, colours and pattern. So I can just sew. It's one I take on journeys and on ferrys. And something I pick up when I'm not inspired. So I actually haven't picked it up lately 😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😜 Hey it's only taken me 2 years so far!! Maybe a bit longer 🤔💭time takes on a different meaning when you are sewing ! Also, if I'm honest, when I AM feeling down and uninspired by life generally, and I work on it, I can see that I have made it grow. Even if it's by one #hexies ! And that is SOMETHING. As opposed to sitting and moving through time whilst doing nothing, which sometimes, I am prone to do when depressed 🙄. #sewingkeepsmesane #quilt #quilting #quiltersofinstagram #grandmothersgardenquilt #hexielove #epp #englishpaperpiecing #englishpaperpiecingeverywhere #selfcompassionatesewing #selfcare #hexieprogressgrandmothersgarden https://www.instagram.com/p/Bns9mVZBPxt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xu8dshqs3kih
I have totally not kept up with these lately, as life just keeps getting in the way. #epp #hexieprogressgrandmothersgarden Had sorted out a large bag of them to take to mums to do, but that didn't work out as planned 😬. I've lost track which ones I've taken pictures of now 😂. I was trying to keep them updated on #hexieprogressgrandmothersgarden if you want to see how many so far! #quilt #quilting #epp #englishpaperpiecing #handsewing #wip #moderngrandmothersgarden #hexiequilt #hexielove
