You may be slow, but you are definitely ahead of me!
I really think this would be a wonderful winter project - those quiet times when you are stuck indoors because of the weather and need some relaxing time when you can just sit and think.
You've made much better progress than I have!!

This is the layout I chose, so far I have 54 of the 72 lozange units I need and have started adding the white hexies on two of the sides of each lozange. I expect to enjoy this process at least 1 or 2 more years!

Annika, I'd say do them when and if you can, the project thus far is beautiful, and it looks like one of those that you can do while watching TV, listening to music, bad weather days, etc, etc. What I keep my crocheting for, and a pattern that once learned or an old one, that no thought is required to it. I call them "busy hands" work. :D
Well, if you need a few compliments to boost your spirits you have come to the right place!
Annika, your work is beautiful and I never get tired of seeing what you post! Nice Job! Keep up the great work!!!
A hand pieced quilt isn't a quick thing. Two years sounds like relatively little, especially if you consider what other projects you have worked on simultaneously!
I would not even make a coaster of those things by hand!!! Machine, yes, hand no!!! I think you are doing great....it will get done when it's supposed to be!
It's turning out just great! You've made significant progress.
Wow! Wow! Wow! What a Beauty! I admire your patience 1" hexies :icon_crazy: (are you kidding me)!?! Lol!
I would never have the patience to make something like your hexie quilt. That will be a real treasure when you finally finish it. Remember: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! So, 1 hexie at a time, & it eventually will be done. JCY
