Take Along Project

This is my take along project to give me something productive to do when I'm away from home.

I have always wanted to make a hexie quilt so I started cutting out my hexes from some charm packs.

 I made a template and started cutting. So they aren't perfect and I have to trim them up when I use one. I made an offhand comment to my husband that if I had a GO it wouldn't take me as long and they would all be perfect.

Well -  With the help of my daughter he ordered one and it should be here tomorrow. (I have to remember to watch what I say around him)

I thought I'd make my hexies with the folded flower on one side. It's really easy to do. I'll put a tutorial on here later. I have been starching them so they will hold a crease better. I'm about a third of the way through the stack.

I am still trying to figure out what I want to do with the center - button, jewel or something else. I'll work on it.

  

 I have cut out a bunch of smaller hexes out of fusible batting to put inside. Hopefully the GO will help with cutting the batting

These are just a few I've done trying to perfect my technique.

I'll probably wait till I get them all done before I start putting them together.
