On the Road Again

I'm leaving this evening for a short conference in Oulu, Finland and packed up some supplies for hand-sewing on the four hour train trips there and back. If only I'd discovered hexagons while I was clocking endless hours on Romanian trains nearly every week (2003-6), just imagine the number of bed-size quilt tops I would have created!! But alas, I didn't get hooked on them until this past fall with the help of Nadine. Here are a few coming together for something small - not sure exactly what yet. (The hexagons have sides measuring 2cm.)

The hexagons are in beautiful colours. Do you plan to make the whole quilt in red??

Oooh I love how you've used the same fabric inside as one of the outsides. Lovely. And another idea!!

Enjoy your conference :)

English paper piecing is the best. Enjoy stitching away while you travel.

The hexagons are great in those rich reds. That's one of the things I love about them - so portable. My project is too big now to carry with me on the ferry - soon it will be finished I swear. Too many things to do!

Love the reds for the hexagons! Like many others I have a hexagon quilt in my future - I think from the scraps of my pre-1830's medallion quilt.
