Hexagons

It has been awhile since I reported on my hexagon progress. This is my ongoing, take-along project without a deadline.
Little by little I have been slowly working on hexagons. At first I didn't know what I would do with my hexagons. About 1 1/2 years ago, I decided on a layout and have been making white hexagon flowers. 
I finally have 10 rows of scrappy hexagon flowers and 9 rows of white hexagon flowers. I still need to make a few more of each so that the rows have 8 flowers across. I also need a bunch of filler hexagons. 
 This past week, I started to sew the rows together! The first 2 rows are finished. 
I'm not sure how I will finish the edges but that will be a decision for much later. Another trip in the car this weekend...maybe I will be able to get a few more rows done!

  4. It is going to be beautiful.... you are so committed. I don't think I could do this. It would be a UFO in a bag for sure!

    On an exercise note.... I rode one day of the bike ride across Iowa (RAGBRAI) last week!! 54 miles. It was a WHOO-HOO moment indeed. I am maintaining now until we leave for Washington state in Sept. I think I will be able to do it now.

    I'm going to try hexies for the upcoming hop, but nothing as ambitious as your beautiful quilt.
