I've started a 10 year project once before! It was one of the first things I started sewing. I saw a hexagon quilt on a bed at Port Arthur, Tasmania, about 15 years ago and it stuck in my mind. I had no idea how to go about it but found a hexagon shape on the internet and printed it and photocopied it .. again.. and again... and again. I cut out hexagons and stitched them to my cut out papers. Eventually I had a box full of them but no idea where to go with it next.
I stitched some into a couple of rings and joined the rings by an extra row of hexagons. So now I had a few joined together rings with holes in the middle. I asked advice from Corliss at
Threadbear in Castlemaine and decided on the suggestion of a plain centre appliqued in.
It is almost complete - just a corner section to go plus a few centres to stitch.
