It is going to be March so soon! I know that many of you are not done with blue yet, don't worry, there will be a catch up month later. For now though, do what you can before the end of the week and then think about digging into your yellow! Yes, yellow for spring.
I started a rope rug this weekend. Everything started well enough, so far so good.
But then I got impatient, and I guess I thought it would all work out eventually. The rounded corners didn't want to lie down though. And so after a bunch of wrestling and stretching and swearing, I decided to let them fold back instead of lying down. It started so well, but this isn't how it was supposed to turn out. Not to worry, I will try again. I really do like the idea of a rope rug. I will pay more attention to the ends lying flat next time. Everything gets easier with practice, right?
After I gave up on the rope rug, I went back to hand quilting the hexies. I have pink thread for the basket quilt on order, but I have almost all of the colors of thread that I need for the hexies. The quilting will be just straight lines thru the center of each row of hexies. It goes pretty quickly. I am finding hand quilting to be very relaxing right now. It is nice not to be in high gear from time to time.

Hexies are one block I've yet to try , they intimidate me & I'm not sure why🤣
love your hexie quilt in the RSC colors -- when I get done with my hexie quilt I'm tempted to start a new EPP with the colors for the months
Yellow sounds perfect for March! It will be fun to sew with the color of daffodils - my favorite flower. Hope you're having a great week, Angela!
Let's hear it for YELLOW! I love yellow! Sorry about your rope rug. "Practice makes perfect." Your hexie quilt looks great and the hand-quilting will make it amazing. Have a great rest of your week!
Sorry about the uncooperative rug, Angela, but it surely looks good to see you making quilting progress on the hexie quilt!
It's always a bit frustrating to lean a new skill. The first try for me is finding out what doesn't work so I can fix that later.
I like your rope rug idea. Try again, is a good plan. Don’t trip on the misbehaving ends! Maybe you already tacked them down. 😆
Sometimes we need to put a project aside and work on something else….
Yellow sounds great even though it’s Autumn here in Aussie….thanks Angela….
