Pinteresting

I find Pinterest very interesting ... maybe a little too much, okay, a lot, and yes too much time is wasted flipping through boards and videos, but I ♥ to see all the beautiful quilts. (That's one of the reasons why I'm afraid of getting an account on Instagram, lol. One addiction problem at a time, please.)

Anywho!! I saw some wonderful hexagon quilts and figure I should get mine out and finish it since I'm at home a lot lately (the understatement of the century).
Do you remember this?

Inspired by this awesome oldie made in 1875-1900

This was back in 2011. I work at it a little bit at time. I thought I was doing so well but at one point, I didn't like the half chopped diamonds so I decided to remove them. (You can see it in the first picture, at the top.)

This is the last picture of it on my blog.

You can see here how big it is even though it is missing 6 rows in this picture.


Then someone told me that it would be better if I put some half diamonds to even out the edges a bit. At the moment, if I put the border on, I would have to bring in so deep into the quilt that there's not much of a border showing.

Whaaaaaattt?????? Now that I have removed them all !!

It's a good thing I do keep everything.

I will re-attached only the full hexagons. The cut-off one will be removed.

I still have enough of that fabric to make those that are missing.

Happy dance.

Guest what I'll be doing on Slow Sunday Stitching?  It'll be fun!


While on Pinterest, I saw a Jacob's Ladder quilt with a border that I finally like. (Of course I can't find it anymore and I'm kicking myself for not saving it in the first place.) I do have a Jacob flimsy that patiently await its borders since 2013. So I started to make some blocks for the border.

I now have 15 made. A hundred more to go. :^D


It would be nice if I could locate my flimsy. Hope my measurements are right.


Enjoy!
