Life just keeps getting in the way

The thing about life is it just keeps getting in the way of this blogging caper. How dare it!! 'Tis been a little while since I last waxed lyrical (to the point of boring you all to death) about my hexies. Life these past weeks has continuously interrupted me; in monotonously keeping you up to speed on all my hexie goodness. 

There has been some progress but I fear my scrappy hexagon quilt is not going to be lounging languidly on my sofa anytime soon. Alas no....though I have been whirring away on my 'new' little Bernina, whipping up framed hexies, I have only completed six rows of my quilt. As most of this quilt is hand stitched it will be a while yet till my hexie quilt is seen in all it's finished glory state.

The joy of a scrappy hexagon quilt is that each individual hexie seems to find it's own way, intermingling with all the other colourful hexies, that juxtapose side by side to each other, singing the most lyrical of colourful songs! Love, love, lurve all that colour and pattern! I love the higgledy piggledy-ness of it all.

Six rows of colourful, scrappy hexie yumminess.

I also have started to  prepare the bias strips of fabric to cover the seams at the back. The bias strips are also hand stitched. Normally I would finish the quilt before undertaking this step but this time I have decided to do it as I add a couple of rows of hexies; I have found it is easier this way. Again, there is no rhyme or reason as to the placement of each strip; just oodles more of scrappy higgledy piggledy-ness.

So there you have it....short and sweet!! Is that a sigh of relief I hear percolating from your lips?? Who would've thought that I could possibly have written a 'short' post......wonders will  never cease!!

So toodlepips for now. I must dive back into this thing they call life, hoping  there will be moments of hexie loveliness sprinkled throughout. Hope you are all enjoying a lovely week.
