English paper piecing...I've been wanting to learn that technique for quite awhile. I have some precut hexagons cut by my daughters' great-grandmother that she never finished. They are very large and I thought I could make each one into two smaller hexigons so that I can make a small quilt for each girl; a sort of multi-generational heirloom for them to pass down to their children. I bet there are plenty of tutes out there, but I tend to learn better by watching someone in person so I think I'm going to bug a few friends, watch the tutes, then make the attempt. I wasn't sure I was going to learn any new techniques with this quilt and yet, here we are in week 2 and here is a technique I need to learn. Well, teach me to be so cocky with myself!
I love my hexagon project.... it will be several years before I finish it, but I find it really relaxing just sitting and sewing them all together. I take it with me when I want to have some hand sewing to do, but don't want to have to concentrate, I can happily carry on a conversation while doing them.
