My current, major work in progress is my first machine pieced hexie quilt. I'm so excited about this quilt for a few reasons. 1 - it is my first custom quilt ordered off of Etsy. =) 2 - it's hexies! 3 - It uses Bonnie & Camille fabric - we've got both Ruby and Vintage Modern. So much happiness!
Machine piecing hexies is awesome! It goes so quickly. The only thing that took some getting used to was the Y-seams. Not my favorite, but now I'm a pro.
Other current WIPs:
1 - B's Sparkle Punch - almost done cutting
3 - Farmer's Wife - on-going, no progress this week
4 - Great Granny-a-Long - no progress
5- Monster Bash Spider Web Quilt - no progress

Look at all those hexies! Machine pieced?! I must know how!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I found you by Lee's!
I'm yet to attack Y-seams... They're a little intimidating! But then again, I prefer machine to hand piecing, so maybe I should just get over myself already!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've mastered the Y seam. 20 finishes already this year is a crazy number, wow.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a great job so far, I can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteI love every minute of this WIP the fabric choice is inspired, the hexagons are bold, and I am jealous. To be honest I haven't had the guts to try out a hex quilt as Y seams intimidate me. This makes me want to buck up and get over it though. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThat will be one lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteMy second quilt was a hexie, and I didn't know about y-seams. Learned really fast, though.....
Lovely quilt and the fabrics:) :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I love your hexies. I just need to push past my fear and do one! I can't wait to see yours finished!
ReplyDeletegood for you! haha - love the toes : )

Do you machine quilt your hexies together?
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've machine pieced hexies, usually I do them by hand, but this is going to be a twin size quilt and I need it to be done in September.
DeleteLove your hexie quilt! Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteYour hexie quilt is turning out to be amazing! Okay, what's your Y-seam secret? Is there a tutorial you swear by? I tend to avoid the buggers at all cost.
