Studio fairies

A few weeks ago, I posted a request for the Studio Fairies to visit me. Since then we have had a few wish bones. And sadness, no bones for me. I broke the bigger side & my wish didn't come true. Poo.

On the hexie front, it is time to start piecing the complex flowers. Background flowers are complete.

The basics of the quilt: finished size to be almost 4 foot by 7 foot, made of 3/4 inch hexagons, total number of hexies 2695 (making 385 flowers) 

Steps for the gargoyle:
Step 1: cut grey and black fabric squares.
Step 2: pin pieces to the not quite full size color guide.
Step 3: piece together flowers.
Step 4: piece lowers together.
Step 5: baste
Step 6: quilt
Step 7: bind

Hexy world

Woo Hoo not a post about a giveaway. It appears that is all I have been doing. Quiltland has not been productive for me as of late. The studio is a mess, *wishing for a fairy to come sort, fold & put away the stash. It has been there since we moved.

As I was looking thru this weeks blogs, I found this super cool set of hexies by Pings and needles. Very inspiring. Hopefully after the jewelry stuff has been posted on eBay I can get to the sewing machine & have some fun.

Ugh! Slow going I have only 31 of 385 flowers made since May 10th. Though sewing pairs and strips together make it go faster. So many damned little ones. This quilt will have the most pieces ever. 2695 hexagons! *faints* So yeah those flowers got tossed out. I really disliked the background. Found something better. 

They are slowly multiplying

Quick update on the massive hex quilt. 2695 hexagons make 385 flowers; I have 22 flowers done. Those 22 make up almost 1/2 of the solid blues that I need to make. After that its on to counting and matching the greys. Eek, gads I am a bit scared.
