Hexagons Coming Together

An article by Rachel    1 Comment

Last month, I managed to be very productive and finish two quilting projects. This month, I’m still committed to finishing my unfinished projects only it is going a bit slower than last month.

In March, I finished a quilting sampler pillow. Then I got the bright idea to make some accompanying pillows. Here’s the first pillow to be.

I finished this top in March shortly after finishing the winter sampler. I totally put off making the second pillow top. I had three out of four hexagon center complete. The thought of making the fourth sent me searching for a different project. Well since, I’m dedicated to finishing an UFO, I’m slugged through making the hexagons. Now I’m sewing them together. I’m so close to being finished. I might even finish tonight. Then I can move on to sewing. Yea!

The project is facing one small hiccup. I’m running out of the green in the borders. I made the first pillow without even stopping to figure out if I can enough fabric to make the second pillow. I highly doubt that I’ll find more of that fabric. I purchased the green fabric over six years ago. I do think I can find fabric the same color. At least the pillows will look like they belong together.
