Hexie therapy

I've had one of those flu/virus things so sewing hexies has been easy to do whilst resting up.

With some occaisional work on this challenging block...

Chester County Criswell Quilt #Block 33 in progress

...I'm glad I fussy cut those little melons. I was only doing it for the dark spots and happily got that daisy effect in the centres by sheer fluke!

btw to answer some queries of late:
a) we have sold our home
b) we will be moving to the country in a couple of months
c) in the meantime I continue to communte & sew on the bus.

Have a lovely Sunday

Catching up on Chester

I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel on the Chester County Criswell Quilt and the blocks are good for taking on the bus.

CCCQ Block #26

CCCQ Block #31

CCCQ Block #30

 I am now sewing one of the more difficult blocks, Block #33, to see the original visit here. There are different ways of tackling this block, I have been using reverse applique so far so good. 

The hardest part has been those little maggots jelly beans around the centre with their tiny inner curves, this quilt has been a doozy for inner curves!

'Only' a few more blocks to go...but then I'm planning on adding dog tooth sashings so still a way to go yet.

Cheers
