Flower Sugar Hexagon in progress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The last time<\/a> I seemed to have written about this Flower Sugar Hexagon project was way back in 2011. I didn’t think that much time had flown by, but Pam has made two hexagons, so I guess it has.<\/p>\n

My design walls have been empty for several weeks while I work on small projects; the 3D items not needing much design wall space. I also love piecing so much that I didn’t want to be tempted away from the small projects that have been on my list for awhile.<\/p>\n

My mom came over for a visit with the Young Man after being on vacation and down with Grama for several weeks. When I arrived home from work she told me that she had raced upstairs to see what was on the design wall and was so disappointed to see NOTHING. She looked a little worried as well. I felt bad.<\/p>\n

This hexie project has been on my mind and it occurred to me that I could put it up on the design wall and see what I saw.<\/p>\n

The only other photos I have of this quilt is laying on the floor. Laying on the floor is different, for me, than hanging on the wall. I seem to be able to see so much more when pieces are vertical. It must be the perspective or the angle.<\/p>\n

I found the piece and put it up on the portable design wall. Looking at it after not having seen it for awhile, I noticed some interesting things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. My balance of different fabrics is pretty good.<\/li>\n
  2. The piece is tiny. It is less than half the size of the Swoon<\/a>. I have a lot of hexies to cut<\/li>\n
  3. This piece does cheer up the room.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As I said in one of the previous posts,Adrianne of Little Bluebell, introduced me to the cutting technique I used for these hexies. You can find the cutting instructions<\/a> on her blog.<\/p>\n

    I hope I won’t think too much about sewing more pieces together. I still need to work on small projects.<\/p>\n
