I have made good progress on the edge of the Half Hexie Stars as I take a break from La Passacaglia.
I am not angry at La Pass and have a pretty solid plan for finishing. I just need to pull fabrics and finish off some rosettes. I am working on this at the moment to give me some time to think about it.
I laid what I have of the top out on the living room floor and am pleased with the look and feel.
I have very little to finish. I have the upper left hand corner and the top edge and then I will be done.
I sewed on four foreground stars last night, which leaves nine more foreground and background stars to finish. Of course, the top edge (see photo above) also needs some stars sewn in, but one thing at a time.
Looking at the top laid out now, I can’t help but think I should have put the foreground stars on the diagonal. Too late now, however.
I have enough background stars sewn together to finish the upper left hand corner, but I needed to choose a few more fabrics for the foreground. They are all cut and ready; they just needed to be selected.
I am pretty pleased with how tidy the edge came out once I added the small triangles and diamonds. I am so grateful for the time I spent working on this piece at Sew Day a few months ago. That time was well spent as it gave me a good strategy for finishing.
I don’t know if I will finish the top before I get back to La Pass. We’ll see.
