I've been slowly working on my hexies waiting at the hospital and doctor appointments. I have a little stack of them so I decided to put them up on my wall to see about how many more that I will need to get the size quilt that I want. So right now I have 74 of these finished and I'm thinking that I will need 400-500 total. :( I still have a long way to go, but I'm not in a hurry.
Of course I will mix my colors up better once I start sewing them all together. My hexies are 1.5" this is a nice mindless project to work on.
Hunter is doing okay with his arm and the soreness is starting to go away from the rest of his body from his fall. He is getting a little depressed as he is a very active boy and his brace limits his activity somewhat. Richard worked Friday night so when he got home Saturday morning he slept for a few hours and then we surprised Hunter with a day out to cheer him up a little bit. Saturday was "Airport Day" at our little airport about an hour away. They also had a car show! He loves classic cars so he had a wonderful time.
Here are a few of the little planes. They were giving rides but they stopped selling tickets before we got there so he didn't get to ride. He had a wonderful time anyway. Nothing major just a little something to take his mind of his arm for a bit.
Richard works tomorrow night so I hope to get some sewing time in. I have 2 baby quilts that need to be done soon so I hope to at least get one of them ready to quilt tomorrow.

I love the setting you have for your hexagons. I haven't seen one like that before and its very effective.
Glad to hear that Hunter is feeling less sore.

Your hexies are looking wonderful! I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have the patience to make 400-500 of those. I take my hat off to you!
Glad Hunter is doing well, considering.
GREAT hexie project - I might have to try one of those myself since they're so great to work on while watching TV
