Hex Crazy

So I have been recovering from what we're pretty sure is H1N1 and I needed soemthing to do while trapped on the couch for over a week.

I had picked up some paper hexagons from The City Quilter when I worked there, and had made a few hex's here and there. I grabbed my scrap bin and went to town last week and this is what I ended up with...

Paper pieceing in this method is very easy, but it is only fun if you enjoy handsewing. Each hex is made of a fabric piece basted onto the hex shaped paper. Then each basted hex gets sewn to the next by hand along each edge. Very addictive finding all of those little motifs and placing them perfectly on each hex!

I love your hex project! It's beautiful--like candy. My eye was moving from hex to hex trying to choose my favorite (impossible!). Together they're like magic. What a nice way to start my Monday, so thank you. Hope you are feeling better. I've been sick for four days already and I'm beginning to be annoyed. :-)
Have a wonderful week.
