On a roll (pun intended)

P1020304

This morning I cut the pieces from the strips I sew yesterday while listening to book on CD.

Since I moved a lot of my stuff from the living room sewing corner to the sewing corner branch in DD1’s former bedroom I do again have space to be organized.
I love being organized - time spent looking for things are wasted time for me !

After I was done cutting all the wedges for the hexagons, I put them in this cute box and worked on 2 halves of a hexagon at a time. When  was done I could pile them neatly,
and before I knew it I had a fairly good pile and still had spare room on my desk :-)

By 5 pm I had finished all the 80  halves !!

I know how I will join these hexagon halves, but for now they will rest in the box. Maybe tomorrow I will spread them out on the floor and start joining the units, or maybe not - time will tell :-)

PS. for those wondering - I am using a 60 degree ruler for the cutting.

  3. Dette er berre så freistande! Ser at nokre av stoffa har eg i lageret mitt, 3 godbitar eg kjøpte i Madrid... Så du er litt hekta på sekskantar for tida. Artig at det er mange måtar å sy dei på. Dette blir vel ein ny mani...fekk i alle fall veldig lyst...hehe.

  7. Flott prosjekt du holder på med. Jeg er veldig spent på hvordan du takler alle spissene som møtes inne i midten på blokka. Har du noen tips kanskje??
