I have have managed to spend some quality time with the sewing machine. Not so much quilting, because quite frankly, the panels are boring. But they are half done!
I basted about 70 hexies. Apparently I do them differently than most? I actually baste to the papers. Hmmm. Well, with only about 300 left to go, I don't think I'm going to change my ways now.
See what else is going on over at Lee's

Wow all those hexies! I have never done anything with hexies, but would like to try at some point! So many things that I would like to try and so little time :) Best of luck on the rest of Spring Break and your WIPs.
I too baste my hexies, I find it relaxing, I do it whilst listening to the radio or audible books.
Enjoy your holiday.
I am impressed with your 70 hexies done this week. I got about 30 done this week and thought that was good. I will have to step up my game.
I learned how to baste AROUND the paper after our group guild quilt blocks came back, many with papers basted...1600 hexies adds up, and I tell you what, unpicking basting was the worst! Haha! I love they look all stacked up. And yours are so pretty!
I'm a paper-basting hexie girl, too. (I think we're in the minority.) I just like how sturdy they are, but if I were like Penny (above) and had to get rid of 1600 interior papers, maybe I'd change my mind.
