Cool Hexies




We're havin' a heat wave...and I have a great excuse to start another new project.  Since we have been asked to conserve power to prevent outages, I am unplugging all unnecessary appliances today.  No cooking, laundry, ironing, machine sewing, and computering...after this post.  Instead, I am cutting hexies for my indigo quilt today.  Have had this quilt in my head for years, and Jessica's Monday Morning Star Count post is the start I needed.   Check her blog Lifeunderquilts.blogspot.com and join up today.

    1. I am cutting my own papers using a very old Ardco template and some stiff drawing paper. The pre-cut papers are great, but I am "slow-quilting" this summer. They finish at 2 1/2"
