I had to get my card table up from the basement to work on. You can see my sewing table is a bed for Kalee!!!
I was starting to remove the hand stitching around the hex pieces.
Up next was to remove the cardboard from each hex. I'm leaving the cardboard in the edges for now...and honestly, I'm thinking of leaving them in even when I stitch to the background.
So now I've moved to the floor! I have the hex piece laid out and I marked around the edges with with a line so as I'm working to start attaching I can make sure I'm lined up. I used the Fixion removable pen. Yes, I tested it first.
Next I added MistyFuse to the back of each of those triangles and flipped over the piece and fused with steam iron. This should hold the triangles as I stitch...fingers crossed.
Then I'll do the same with the green, yellow and yellow Triangles shown here. I'm not so steady drawing lines but you get the picture!
Next, I'll remove stitching and cardboard from center of the red, orange and orange triangles, fuse stablizer and then use MistyFuse to adhere to the quilt. Next three moving clockwise around the hex piece. Slick, right!
The three triangles just flip up so easy to work with. My main concern was the piece shifting but it's stable...SO FAR!!
And then it's hand stitching time...or machine...I'm not sure yet. I have a ways to go to decide!
