Hexies Do I or Don't I?

*

I guess these hexies would count as a UFO, I've had them for at least 2 years now.

I took them when we went camping 2 summers ago and worked on them, then they sat,

until late last year, when I started sewing them together in a solid piece thinking pillow.

Since there's 90 of them, I didn't think that the end result would be very large or unique.

I have 45 stitched together and honestly they're not doing a thing for me.

I think I'll take them apart and stitch them together as they are in the top picture.

 I like it against a solid background, not the tablecloth it's sitting on right now,

but a white background instead.

Got PIGs ?

How many pigs do you have lying around?

Just waiting in the wings or closets, cupboards or

beside you comfy chair?

P.I.G.s

Projects In Grocery bags

So come on, squeal...

how many ? 

Here's what I've got so far:

Great Granny Along,

100 Quilts for Kids,

Whirlygiggle Quilt,

to name but a few.

I know there's more peeking out and around corners

waiting for their completed debut.

Funny thing is, no matter how many I have oinking away

I have to start another project...last night I worked on some more of my

hexies.

These little guys are like eating potato chips,

you can't have just one.

We're the Hex Girls...

and we're going to put a spell on you!

I've caught the bug! Hexies are fun and fast,

even for a hexie virgin like me.

These gems are all over blogland and now I see why!

I was the lucky winner awhile back from Sara 

for a bag of flannel hexies and some templates.

Last night was the night to pop my cherry with these

and it felt sew good!

I'll need to print off more templates and in the pursuit of locating

a download I found this super cool site for hexagons and so much more.

Triangles, squares, circles you name it it seems to be there.

Just click on graph/grid paper when you check it out.

Put in the dimensions you want and print.

Swap and a Win
