This month, now that I have evenings to myself again, I’ve stitched a few hexies every night – adding 141 new ones for my fussy-cut Hexie Dreams quilt! I think this puts me around 810 or so total. I have just a small amount of fabric left that I want to prep, and then the big task of choosing my favorites and stitching them together will commence. Will I complete that leg of the journey by year’s end? Stay tuned!
