Looking even more beautiful the more blocks you do and I am getting excited about starting mine. One question ..how wide did you cut your strips?

I used 3.5" strips, hoping that an even 6" finished hexes would be easiest to manage.

Thanks for all the great feedback, everyone. I hope to finish the blocks today and get a way to display them. Photos to follow!

I'd love to take credit for that idea, but I saw it here and borrowed it! It's really fun as I'm sewing OBW pieces from a stack of plates. I leave the last empty one on top of the stack until the block is finished. When it's time to sew a new one, it's like a little Christmas each time I pull a plate off the top of the stack--you never know what's going to be under there! DH has even coming running from the den to check on me a few times because I've squeeled out loud!! LOL

It's a great choice Dixie! This is going to be an amazing quilt when you are finished. Can't wait to see the progression! Happy New Year!
