Default Hexies for a Friend

An older member of our guild asked if I would be willing to put together some hexies that she had started. She is a sweet lady and, due to Covid and no access to a computer, is somewhat cutoff from her quilting buddies. I decided to help her out and also spend an afternoon or two a month, with her. She is very happy with the results and is planning on hand quilting the tops.

I was sorry but the first thing I had to do, was undo all the hand stitching she had done. There were significant tension and seam issues. (Did I mention that my friend is a 'little' older than me?) I knew it would take more time than I wanted to spend, to hand stitch everything, so I cheated. The hexies are all machine pieced. I can now sew a Y seam in my sleep!! With only 2 cushion tops left to piece, this project is almost finished. But I will continue to drop by for tea and stories about the past. Thanks for looking.
