snippets fun

what do you do when you have only little snippets of time here and there?  why, you work on your hexies of course!  and not those itty, bitty, teeny, weeny, under 1 inch things either; mine measure 3" across the middle and i wouldn't have it any other way.  these are for an amish-y honeycomb twin size quilt in the works.  as for when it will be a flimsy is anyone's guess.  these are mostly hand-dyed solids from cherrywood fabrics and are they luscious both in color and quality.  they advertise a suede-like feel and they are so right.  i can recommend them highly.  i can't afford the yardage--it's pricey--but these are from one of their grab bags of small pieces.  i need a total of 202 of these hexies, 12 half hexies and some little triangles (not sure which kind) to make it rectangular.  it's an ideal grab and go project....for the time being anyway.  ***** back to cold temps today but not for long.  if we don't get anymore snow, it won't bother me a bit.  easter is late this year--mid april--and i've seen fast-moving blizzard-type conditions on easter sunday before, so we can't rest easy yet.  ***** national quilting day is one week from today.  it's not a hallmark holiday at all but no less celebratory to us of the quilty persuasion.  lots of related events going on of which to partake and enjoy, not the least of which are the online retail therapy kind.  web surfers beware!
