The last hospital stay my husband had was 1 month long. I always have my hexagons with me and finished a lot of a quilt while sitting with him. Presently I am working with QAYG framed hexagons. I take a piece of felt and cut out the hexagon pattern, I cut another piece the same size as the felt piece, and then a hexagon about 1/2 inch larger. I safety pin through the middle to stabilize and then I fold under each side as I come to it and sew it down <it miters the corners as it goes.> If you are interested, pm your address and I will send you a sample or two. And if you get energetic, you can use them to embroider, quilt or add pictures, embellishments, so you do not get bored with them.
