If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I've been steadily working on basting and piecing hexagons, epp style. I call it my 10 Year Project. Today I am going to do a complete update on how things are going.
This box contains the 1,672 hexies that I pieced into Eights by last April. Then I found out I needed to make more, because about 400 of the hexies I had finished were the wrong size. I pieced them into this small quilt *here*.
Monday, I finished piecing the hexies into fours.
This is sort of a magic moment, when you piece Fours into Eights, it takes exactly the same time as Twos into Fours.
But you have less pieces, so are done twice as fast!
I did a quick count and have 121 Fours ready to piece. I will probably only do the 100 - then do Sixteens, then check my layout.
Once these are all into Eights, I will piece into Sixteens, along the sawtooth edge this time. Also, when the Eights are done, all will be caught up.
I've kept out a small handful of Ones, Twos, in case I need to add them somewhere for the layout.
In other news, the bees come tomorrow. Today it is snowing. Not cool.

Would you show us the quilt photo or drawing for the hexies? Thanks.
