A Finish

My latest hexagon project is now bound, labeled, done!  Someday I’ll find my notes that served as my roadmap in making this wall hanging, but I do remember there are more than 300 hexagons that measure 1/2 inch per side.  These are the smallest hexagons I have ever used.  The design was one I copied, with permission, by Carmen Maria.  Her Instagram address is https://www.instagram.com/laboresenelatico/.  

While this is my fourth hexagon project, I tried some different techniques.  Because I knew the exact pattern I was going to follow, I put it together in strips, rather than starting with rosette units.  I would lay each row out on my ironing surface and stick them to a strip of painter’s tape so they would stay in order as I pieced each row while “watching” tv with hubby.  I believe this was a more efficient approach, but it would only work for small quilts.  The little dab of tape on the end piece was to help me avoid adding a piece out of order.

In April I posted about the quilts made each year for Hope Hospice by the New Braunfels quilt guild.  Here is the quilt made for 2022.
