GFG table topper top complete
29 October 2008
I’ve had this done for a while but haven’t updated the blog. The hand piecing went quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think that means I’m up for hand piecing a whole quilt top of hexagons.
I have this all basted and ready for hand quilting, and I have about 300 sets of fabric hexagons together for the quilt top. I need to start basting them to the hexagon paper pieces. I’m also experimenting with another (new-to-me) technique that would eliminate the basting-to-paper-pieces step and lets you hand piece the hexagons together without using a whip stitch. If I’d known about it before I started cutting up my fabrics into squares for hexagons, I probably would have used it instead although I don’t mind using a whip stitch to sew the hexagons together. It goes quickly for me. I’ll post about my experiment with Inklingo in a few days — after I have a sample finished up so I can post a picture of it. Oh, and it’s not that I don’t have other hexagon quilt ideas in my head that I could use this new technique on, you know? LOL
Guess who thinks this project is his? Yes, Mischievous Ludo. He claimed it long before I had it finished. I’m sure when it’s completely quilted and on the table, it will be a daily game to keep him off of it.
