Before we left on vacation, I prepared a hand quilting project. I thought it would be good for travel as well as working on in the evenings when I don’t want to knit. (yeah right, like there is ever an evening I don’t want to knit). 
I quickly sewed up a project bag, put in the box and the beginnings of the project and off we went.
On the trip I knit in the car during the day and worked on the quilt in the evenings.
I found myself getting addicted to the process.
I also picked up some purple fabrics, since for some reason, I was lacking that color family in my stash.
I quickly turned fabric into hexies and into the box they went.
By the end of the trip, the quilt was growing. When I got home I decided to square off the edges as I go with partial hexies. The thought of cutting off portions of what I sewed when the quilt is complete was just too depressing. Better to add than subtract.
So here it was yesterday. What I discovered is that I am totally addicted. Although I have plans for a machine sewn quilt as well as more garment sewing, I find I am spending many of my daytime hours working on this project. At least at night I am still knitting, but that is the subject of another post.

Wow! That is beautiful! And I agree, finishing with partial hexies does sound a lot easier than cutting off your precious work. Gorgeous!
Thanks, I didn’t realize how addictive this is!
These hexes look so much fun. I like the way you grouped the colors together. Is there anything that doesn’t work as a hexie?
I’m totally addicted to it – and it’s portability is a massive bonus! Yours reminds me of a mosaic, fab!
It was portable when I started, but as the quilt top gets bigger, it is less portable. Oh well, it is like potato chips, I just keep adding more and more.
