1,501 HEXIES AND COUNTING....

I can't believe I've come this far! I've been keeping track of my progress since deciding to join in on the Hexagon Charm Quilt Piece-Along at Texas Freckles.. You can follow my progress in my sidebar. These are 1" hexies and my goal is 2,704 so I'm more than half way there. They are somewhat sorted by color so I can see where I need more of a certain color for better balance in the overall design. Of course, I still have to sew all of these together! It will be 52 rows of 52 for a size of 90" x 90". I'd say this was an "ongoing" project!! Click on the picture for a larger view.
