BHQ: March Progress

[janestarz]

A few days ago I picked up an old project. I called in sick for work and decided very adamantly to not work on unpacking boxes or clearing away old rubbish. Since I needed to do something with my hands, this was it.

As you can see, over the weekend I only did a few flowers, but it feels good to be working on this project again. As I explained to Eisirt today: yes, it's a huge (masochistic) project, but there's no rush in it. It's a very portable project and I enjoy working on it. You can just idle with some hexagons and a needle. Despite the fact I need to sew over 3000 of those hexagons together, it's very relaxing.


I only sewed 3 days in March on this, but it's still progress.

One thing that irks me is that I have made a duplicate!
I really wanted to avoid having the same flower twice, but here you can clearly see a duplicate flower. I wonder if anyone will ever notice in a 375 flower quilt. What do you think? Should I tear it up, or leave it be?

If it bothers you, tear it up. You are after all stitching 3000 hexagons and a few more won't be such a big deal. If you want to end up with a find-the-duplicate!-quilt, then put it in and have fun when people come to admire your work. ;)

Leave it be and put then as far as possible on the quilt. And tell the owner to find the duplicate. Also very handy to ask little children to keep them quiet ^_^.

I would totally start looking for duplicates in such a quilt. It would be very nice to find there's actually one in there :-)

als ik jou was haalde ik er eentje los - Jijzelf blijft het altijd zien - hoe ver ze ook uit elkaar zitten (en je er misschien aan ergeren)

It is a particularly pretty one - I would be sad if it were to be binned completely. Hope you either use it in this quilt or find another use for it.

Well done with your progress! Like you I am so busy that it's hard to make time for hexagons, but little bits get done now and then.

Happy hexagoning! :)

Oh wat een mooie bloemen! Ik zou hem bewaren voor een andere quilt.
