To make it even easier on yourself, I would say buy the hexi pattern pieces now...and probably buy a couple of packages, and just set them aside until you're ready to start. Then, when you're ready you can just get going. Good luck! Your mom will love it!Heather @ The Beating Hearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06482775464960473303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403045624179228147.post-91849938676335812922012-07-03T08:45:30.814-07:002012-07-03T08:45:30.814-07:00My Mom is a quilter.

My siblings, my kids, my nieces and nephews all get quilts but sewn with a sewing machine. She has tried to teach me off and on but...disaster. This Winter I will try your technique. It would give me no end of pleasure to be able to give a quilt to my Mom.Debra Kapellakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657728453671538246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403045624179228147.post-75074023457925201732012-06-26T13:28:45.084-07:002012-06-26T13:28:45.084-07:00Rogene, finish it!

A friend gave me a quilt her mother started years ago. The fabric looks 1950's -1960's ish to me. My friend told me to do anything I wanted with it except finish it and give it back to her. I finally finished the top, but then it went on "the pile" to wait to be finished. Guess I should dig it out and finish the thing, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403045624179228147.post-17314487406699495392012-06-26T06:52:14.529-07:002012-06-26T06:52:14.529-07:00Thanks Julie Ann, I'm glad you came by.Thanks Julie Ann, I'm glad you came by.Heather @ The Beating Hearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06482775464960473303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403045624179228147.post-66495788445944869412012-06-26T06:51:51.721-07:002012-06-26T06:51:51.721-07:00Word to your mother :)Word to your mother :)Heather @ The Beating Hearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06482775464960473303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403045624179228147.post-45599482207731670992012-06-26T06:51:05.748-07:002012-06-26T06:51:05.748-07:00Thanks for checking it out, and I definitely think...Thanks for checking it out, and I definitely think you can do it.
