    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!!
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    The stash to make a quilt to help me cope,
    A quilt to give to comfort those I love in times of hurt, fear and uncertainty.
    And the courage to keep on sewing when life itself seems held together by a single thread of hope.

    I think this is actually the way to go with hexies: it's a long term project you work at when you feel like it. I started mine last year, and I sew a few hexis now and then. Another of my Work In Slow Progress quilts!
    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.
    Don't worry if plan A fails, there are 25 more letters in the alphabet!!

    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 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
