Lynnie's hexes are growing
 

Lynnie's "hexes" are now big enough where she needed help to hold it up for a photo! Her chubby little fingers are bleeding but still working. Way to go.

Love your cheery colours, very nice

Good googamooga! This is just way too pretty! Love,love,love it! Dang you makin a lot of hexagons, I just thought I had it bad! LOL!

OH goodness, what a lot of work. Love the bright summer colors!!!

Really pretty!!

So pretty! Bright n cheery

Love the colors! so much brighter than the pastels you sometimes see on GFG.

All that hard work is paying off. Gorgeous going!

thanks everyone. it's so much work now and so big that I just about get a round on a week now.
been working on leaves for about 8 hrs and am not done yet. I'll put them on tomorrow and start flowers over
the weekend to put them on the quilt on Tuesday.
It's getting big but not big enough yet.

thank you to all who sent me some fabric to be a part of it. Can you find your fabrics?
Thanks Jeanne for posting my quilt again.

Wow, what a beautiful quilt top Lynnie. I don't have the patience to work on those.

Lynnie, WOW! It's beautiful. I can really see it now, because it's really big compared to the last picture. I also like the bright colors. It does look like a big beautiful flower garden. You have really come a long way on it. It will be worth it to get it the size you want.

Are you still needing greens?

Wow, Lynnie! That is so pretty. And so much work! Thanks for showing us.

That is one gorgeous garden grown with love.

Just gorgeous Lynnie. So bright and cheerful.

yes, Susan, still collecting greens, I go thru them as soon as I get them.
I think I have every green Joanns has and some from the quilters here too.

Love it love it love it love it gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!

Very pretty and a lot of work!

Boy, Lynnie, it is really beautiful. I love your colors! I have enjoyed following your progress.

So pretty and colorful great job!

Going to be beautiful!!!

Beautiful!! Love hexies!

It is wonderful! It would be so much fun to sit and sew hexies with you! The way you put them all together is inspiring and would definitely motivate me to do be bolder.

Supercalifragalistic .

Love it....so bright and happy! Lots of work too.

WOW that is so pretty. Lots of work.

beautiful, when is enough?

So very pretty!!!

What a beautiful summer garden!

....expialidocous! I think that's how it's spelled!!!!....


You must sit all day and do these....I must have ADD.....I can only do hexies for 1-2 hrs, then I have to get up and do something else!!!!!

Lynne, what kind of thread are you using to sew them together....I have tried almost everything and still get shredding a lot........I think that's why I cannot do for a long stretch...too frustrated worrying about thread shredding.....

Oh Lynnie sooo pretty. Love all the colors.Great job.

It is gorgeous! Sure is a lot of work but worth it

Very very pretty

it is beautiful

So pretty lynnie you and your bleeding fingers are champions.

Love your hexie's so how big is this quilt going to be?

Keep up your good work, the quilt is beautiful.

That is the most vibrant hexie quilt I have seen. NO white, just pure glorious color. Love it. OOps, there are a very few whites there, but very minimal, I refuse to see them.

the quilt is planned to be for a queen. I may stop at the 60x80 and add borders, don't know yet. still have some summer left without the car. My son is getting his CDl, so he's using my car.

I use serger thread or cheap stuff to baste the papers (junkmail, manila folders, and paper plates) to the fabrics.
I sew them with Gutermann thread to hand sew with approx. 20 stitches per side of the hex. About 18=20" of thread, and when I have a problem, I beeswax the thread. it doesn't break b/c it is shorter in length. If you do it, have fun.

PaperPieces.com will send you free sample kits if you're not sure if you want to do this. I'd get about 3-4 kits to attach them together and see how you like them.WARNING: it is addictive. Charisma has my triads, waiting for her to quilt them. will show it when it's done.
