Charleston Rhapsody Hexagons

It's been a very long and very busy week, but in amongst all of that I've managed to make some progress with the Charleston Rhapsody  hexagons . . .

It's a funny thing how something as simple as a needle and thread and a bit of stitching can help quiet the mind and cut through the stress, isn't it?

I've been cutting lots of these . . .



and with a bit of stitching I've made this pile of hexagons . . .



I got the pattern for the quilt in the mail this week and I'm really looking forward to making some progress. I did smile, though, when I was reading through the instructions and got to the part where it talks about making 842 hexagons.

842!

Now, I know it's a managable number, but 842 does make your heart skip a little beat momentarily.

842.

I'm not counting how many I've made just yet. I think I'll leave that till the pile gets a little bigger!

  1. While I was reading 842 I was thinking - that's heaps compared with Swan Lake, then I thought, 107 x hexagon flowers = 749!!!! I bet you finish yours before I finish mine. I am SO SLOW. Your fabrics look wonderful all together. It is going to be beautiful when it's finished.

  3. Hello there, I wish you, or Sue-Anne would show a picture of the Charleston Rhapsody quilt. I looked on the designer's website, but couldn't find a picture of that particular pattern. The hexies are all looking very pretty...............try not to count, it just makes it seem insurmountable! Michele
