I've started quilting the hexie quilt!
Can you see the diamonds in the black sashing? I've done the 6 spokes out from the center of the quilt. I have a decent amount of sashing left to go but it is really quick with a good audio book and some raspberry iced tea.
After the sashing is done I'll see how much more quilting I want to add since the quilt is already pretty heavy and I don't want it too stiff.
This is a hexie project that I started way back to replicate the bathroom floor at my office. I felt obligated to use much bolder colors. LOL.
And yes...I will be doing the borders...not in EPP but Seminole Piecing.
In preparation for taking some hexies camping I also threw this project into EQ7. (Why oh why can't EQ make designing hexies a little easier???) I used light colors to denote the pattern and as I stitch the pieces I'll change to the darker colors shown. I'm great at over packing "activities" so this is one of only 3 hexie projects I'll be taking with me. I would hate to run out of projects to work on while I relax in front of the campfire or hide from the rain. :)
And here is the latest shot of the little project I started last week. Did I tell you that from top to bottom it will be just 14"? I hope to make two of these, one for each side table in my living room. I didn't uber-like them when I first won them at an auction and had planned to replace them one day. But fate stepped in cuz they are HEXIE shaped!!!

LOVE your quilting! What a great idea - the diamond shape is great! Also like your other projects - very cool. When do you leave for your trip?
The diamond quilting design is brilliant (no pun intended!!). I really like that.
What a cool quilt the bathroom floor will make. Are you going to hang it in the restroom when it is finished? : )
So you will have hexie shaped place mats? Is that what you are saying? I'm not worried, or anything--just wondering what is next.
Funny where inspiration comes from, isn't it?! I am glad you're rising above the bathroom floor colors, though!! Your picks are far prettier!!!! :)
Wow !I love the quilting on the hexies.
What a place to find inspiration....it does look very nice though.....the floor and your project.
