I had to get a full shot of the hexie diamonds now that the last stitch has been sewn. I searched back through old posts to figure out that I started this quilt in January of 2018. That isn't nearly as long ago as I had guessed. I even linked to some of the design inspirations, but those links seem to have died. A blog is a nice way to remember long term projects like this one that seem to have always existed.
The backing is a rainbow of fabrics. Since the quilting was done in rows, it didn't interfere much with the hand quilting. From time to time I would start running into a stubborn spot and realize that I was trying to sew along a seam in the back.
Yesterday, Kurt decided that we should go out to a winery. I am always so happy to stay home forever. It is nice that he suggests outings to change up the scenery from time to time. It was a very fancy winery and we enjoyed the trip, even though we are not fancy people. After that we watched the fireworks from our own front yard. The local 4-H hosts a show each year and we have a beautiful view from our perch on the side of the mountain.
We have some tiny tomatoes growing in the garden. It was horribly neglected for a very long time, so I am a bit surprised that anything has survived. Deer and racoons at most of what we planted, but it is nice to see that a few things are still growing. I hope you are finding some time to slow down and enjoy the end of the week. Be sure to head over to Kathy's blog to enjoy some slow stitching.

being at your cabin is such a change from Florida I'm sure. I saw your photo of the bear earlier in the week that must have been startling! I love your hexie quilt and the new one that you are working on - that would be a hard design until you get it going and really get the feel for it.
It's so great to see a full photo of your hexie quilt, Angela - it's a beauty! And the new snakey blocks are going to be fun, too. We enjoy visiting wineries wherever we can find them - hope you had some tasty wine!
Your hexie quilt is gorgeous. That's a LOT of stitching!
Brava! Quite a feat to complete it.
The hexie diamond quilt turned out beautifully! Hope you get a chance to spend some more time up at the cabin this summer.
I love staying home for the most part too. Going out and making different memories are fun too. Now that the kiddos have been launched from the nest, you and Kurt get a lot of new memory time. Love your hexie projects.
Oh that hexie quilt is total gorgeousness! Another amazing scrappy finish!
Oh, Angela, your hexie quilt turned out beautifully! Congratulations!
