As all y'all already guessed I brought hexies to work on. I had a couple small, random things to finish and after that I wanted something simple to work on in my lap. Simple was good cuz it turned out to be a hot, breezy day. While sitting there for 4 hours I got a good start on adding the white hexies to this pieced hexie rosette. I finished the white yesterday at Mom & Dad's house.
If I lay the new white parts out with some of the other pieces I've made for this quilt, I think it looks fantastic. I gave up trying to get a better picture with the gray skies this morning - it's sew much better in real life. I love the way the gray, white, purples, blues, greens, yellows and oranges all play off each other...
This quilt will be my focus for this year's camping trip. I've got kits made up to make more rosettes on mountain tops and while I'm lounging around my camp site I'll work on adding the gray or white backgrounds to the blue rosettes. I can't wait to see how much I can get accomplished since I'm looking forward to stitching all the little bits into something larger! Don't get me wrong - there is still a LOOOONG way to go on this quilt but I want to get some of it together as inspiration to keep moving forward with it.

Wow, Sarah, this is going to be gorgeous!! I can't begin to wrap my brain around all of the pieced hexies that go into it.
Simply breathtaking..........
Very dynamic composition there, Sarah. Can't wait to see where you take this.
this is a big project is it going to be a large bed quilt? It will be lovely when completed
The colors work so well together, with the white. I look forward to seeing your progress on this one. Thanks for linking with Design Wall Monday.
First of all, I think the name of your blog is so precious! I just had to check it out! And then to find that you're working on hexies and in public! A girl after my own heart! Your work is gorgeous - your project will be beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
