\"EPP<\/a>
EPP Stars – January 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gerre talked a bit about putting the Merit Hexies<\/a> together in a project at the last meeting<\/a>. This discussion was swirling around in my mind when I went looking through my media library (where all the photos I have posted to the blog live). Yes, I posted this photo back in February 2014<\/a>, but with Gerre’s comments on my mind, it struck me anew today.<\/p>\n

While I am not super bothered about sewing the merit hexies into something, I also don’t want them laying around for the rest of my life and then getting thrown out when I die. It would be interesting\/fun to make pillows out of them, or cushion covers, and see how many I will make before the project peters out.<\/p>\n

I thought a couple of things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I could arrange my hexies in this shape on a pillow or bag.<\/li>\n
  2. I could make some extra Half Hexie Stars and make a pillow.<\/li>\n
  3. I really like the color combination here (is anyone surprised?).<\/li>\n
  4. Putting a straight edge on a cushion or small project would give me practice for the Half Hexie Star Quilt<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. I kind of like the idea of a hexagon shaped pillow. I suppose I would have to stuff it and that would be a hassle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
