I should have started sewing these together before basting most of them. I can't do a lot of whipstitching at night because we don't have the best light in the TV room where DH and I spend our time in the evening. It's quite enough light for basting, but I don't know whether I'll need to baste any more for this quilt. So for now I am whipstitching hexies together in the afternoons. I may have to bring in another floor lamp and see if that brightens things up for evening sewing! We'll see. I may have to start basting for another quilt to make more efficient use of my sewing time :-)
I love your blue fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI find that I baste a few, then sew a few,and repeat often! Your flowers look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour blues look great!! And I'm really curious what it will look next week, so keep going :)
ReplyDeleteThis is super progress! I LOVE all those shades of blue ... especially since blue is my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your blue hexie flowers !!!!

Beautiful blue hexies, really. Even when I don't do the complex "you have to design beforehand" quilts like the one I'm doing right now, I usually baste only the next piece I need and then go on whipstitching. I cut up the fabric, but don't baste.
ReplyDeleteOne exception, though, when doing clamshells or applecores I do baste beforehand, since they work up different.
