A little hand piecing

Posted on April 20, 2013 by katyquilts

Last night, as I watched coverage of the Boston manhunt, I added some of the prepared hexagons to this miniature.

I don’t think I will add any more hexagons but I need to figure out how to finish it. Right now, it measures about 6″ x 8″. I also marked seams on these hexagons while we traveled yesterday.

You can see they are a bit bigger!

I am not sure if I will hand or machine piece these or how big it will end up. Because I marked the seams, I can do both on this same piece. I have done this before with great success.
It snowed yesterday. The sun is shining today. I sure hope it warms up soon!
Until next time….

    It is so pretty! I love the white ones with the designs spaced around. I recognize some of the fabrics from pieces a I have also. It is raining here today. I am down in Jacksonville, Fl. For the next week. Have a great weekend!
