Almost Done

Ever so slowly my

hexagons have come together.

 

I like how neat and crisp the back looked

 with all the paper templates. 

Finally, all the sections were

completed.

And I started to see what it would

look like with the border I'd chosen.

The next step was to connect all the rows

with the diamond shape.

It looked fantastic to see it all together.

I  had been putzing along at a pretty good clip,

 when I saw myself heading

onto a very uneven road.

Hexagons don't leave a straight edge,

but a very bumpy road.

The directions said to cut each side 

straight and leave a 1/4" seam.

I couldn't do that.

All the sides of the hexies were tacked down.

And all I could see was trouble ahead.

So my solution was to applique the border

to each side of the quilt

It has taken quite a bit of time to

get it right.

I've actually taken each side off at least once.

I was surprised how much the top

stretched even with the papers intact,

extra pinning and careful placement.

Well, it's almost a flimsy.

It's heading off to it's official

photo shoot this week.

Until Next Time-
