Right now I am doing a never-ending hexagon as my handwork project--it has about 300 different green fabrics and about 2000 hexagons and it is still growing....it's addictive but very soothing to do a little every day. I don't have a husband to have an opinion...it makes me happy to do hand work so that's all that matters.car54https://www.blogger.com/profile/08917655110224786571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593114644785141187.post-69816884229790983562012-01-07T12:06:19.179-07:002012-01-07T12:06:19.179-07:00I think it's super-duper, and I applaud you fo...I think it's super-duper, and I applaud you for what you have accomplished. From time to time I think about taking on something similar, (although I haven't yet!) and I agree... imperfect seams to the winds... who cares?

I would just love to pull out something like that in the many work meetings I attend with colleagues rabitting on and pretending to be Important. It would make a great statement -- and I would end up with a nice quilt. Thanks for the inspiration!
