So to keep me honest, my Q Bud, Susan asked me what size are the triangles? And what size will the hex piece be along with size of quilt!
Well, I haven't got that far! HA Of course, Susan knows me that I do something, then have to figure out how it will work!
Each triangle side is 9" ; each triangle is made up of 36 hex pieces 5/8" each' and there are currently 24 hex triangles in the 'so called' finished piece...although, it's far from being finished!
So here we are! All triangles are finished and I'm happy with the layout...could I still change some..sure! It's me! HA HA HA
Then I'll need to quilt the background. Once that is finished, then I'm going to attach each side of 'a' triangle to it's 'buddy'!
I'm showing yellow and green points and sewing just 2 small stitches to hold points. Which I'll have to do for all sides.
These are just two extra triangles to show (and to really see! if what I want to do will work). I think it will! You can see my thread attached to the top of the point.
I'll do this for all 36 triangles sides...which I think will end up being more than 36 sides?? I have to connect tops as well??
I'll stop with this part of the what I have to do with the hex triangles. This end result will take some time. Then to come up with removing all the stitching in each hex (36 x 24 = 864 hex pieces made) HA And then remove all the cardboard!!
I started on this thought/quilt and posted on January 3, 2026 (you can see that post here). I can't believe it's been that long. But I have been busy with other things in my life! We just finished setup/takedown/prepping for our Spring Book Sale at the library. I do enjoy getting out with the other great ladies and shelving books or just sitting and getting to know each other.
Of course, Bob and the girls keep me busy with just normal housewife chores/ baking/ cooking/cleaning which does interfere with sewing/textile life! But I'll keep plugging away on my hex color wheel!!! And I will post from time to time! Yes, Susan, I will...but my own 'time to time'. HA HAD
