Hi everyone
It is the first HQAL of 2020 and over the Holiday period I managed quite a bit of sewing until I ran out of white squares to make the hexies and small border pieces. I purchased some more and they arrived this week so back to sewing white hexagons.
Here is my progress
Before Christmas ………. I had border pieces ready to be attached.
New Year …….. green border all sewn on and started to sew on the colourful border and sew white hexagons to the corner pieces.
I’m really pleased with how this looks – next bit – quilting – nervous of doing this as I have not quilted before. How much do you have to quilt? Is more better?
That is all for this post, please pop along and see what other members of the group are stitching as we all craft individual projects and reveal our progress every 3 weeks.

Very pretty, I love all the graduated colours, it’s going to be lovely and fresh looking. I can’t advise on the quilting I’m afraid, all I would say is don’t bite off more than you can chew!! In other words, don’t start quilting really densely unless you know you can keep going 🙂 Good luck!

I LOVE all the colors in the quilt. I am also working on hexis! I don’t know anything about hand quilting so will be asking tons of questions when I get to that point!

It looks lovely! One thing I definitely wish I had known before starting my quilting was that you need to make sure to baste your layers together very well 😅 😘
