So here is my Monday Morning EPP Update. First of all I have to say, whoever reads this via Jessicas Webside and her Monday Morning Star Count: Thank you! I loved all the nice comments about my work the other week, I enjoyed the feeling that somebody actually read this, and the weekly updates on the LifeUnderQuilts webside really really really are motivating me! Again, thank you so much!
So...
No news on the pink and beige quilt front. But you see, some projects have to wait a while to get really awesome... Or maybe I´m just to intimidated about adding the boarder... We will see what happens this week.
Update on the big hexies:
I´ve sewn together 6 rows, the "blanket" is now 17 hexies long and about 50cm wide (anout 20inches). I have 5 finished rows on hold, just waitin´to be dewn to the big piece.
This will not be enough rows I think, but we will see. I think I will change the order of the not yet sewn together hexies, maybe I will insert new rows (I´m running out of parts of my original fabriques, which were leftovers, intruducing the new ones asap will bring the nicest look I think.)
Last but not least, my copy of Jessica Alexandrakis book arrived the other week!!
I think it´s pretty fantastique, I loved looking through it, and I had to try one little project out of it before I finish my other ones in line.
So last evening I put away the colourful hexies and gave her pincushion a go. It was a nice and quick project, finished in one evening.
So this is my first finished EPP project! Wohoooooo!!!
(I´m linking up with Jessica´s Monday Morning Star Count over at lifeunderquilts for some extra motivation)

Your hexies are coming along nicely...and I agree that if you are adding new fabrics to the mix now would be a great time to integrate them giving them a more scrappy look...congrats on your pin cushion finish...keep going as it will not be long until you have a finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteSuper! The colorful hexies are coming along fast! And the pincushion looks great - so fun to have useful things that are also so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I never would have thought to use different fabric for the squares and rectangles ... your pin cushion came out great. Good luck with the hexies, they're coming along fine.
ReplyDeleteHow colorful!
