String Piece Hexagon Progress

I’ve been doing a lot of string piecing since the pandemic started back in March. I love that I can do a lot of sewing without having to make many decisions. It keeps my fingers busy but doesn’t tax my brain. It’s just what I have been needing for these weird times. First, I made a quilt’s worth of rectangle strips seen below. I don’t have a final plan for how these will be put together yet so they are all in a pile waiting.

After making the rectangle strips I started making hexagons. You can see more of them here.

I’m in a “use what I have” frame of mind so am using this pretty gold Peppered Cotton for the setting triangles.. I hope I measured correctly and that I will have enough for the binding too.

It appears that I never blogged about that quilt on the design wall either. That was an improv experiment that I had fun with. I shared some progress shots on Instagram earlier in the summer.

Looking at those tiny bits on the design wall has me itching to do some more tiny piecing again
