I know I could have basted as I went, but it was quite satisfying getting them all finished, and then after a bit of counting, recounting and a bit more basting, finished again.
Now I can really get on with the piecing, and that is going to be fun!

Basted!
I have prep'ed all the hexies, squares and triangles for my mahusive Spring Carnival cushion...

Sewing it all together IS the fun part! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's looking nice. I know what you mean about basting everything all at once. It's one major step being taken and satisfying indeed. Have lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, that is great! I am basting hexies too but for Katy's Hexie MF quilt along so I will be a while yet before getting to the sewing together stage... Looking forward to seeing your cushion!
ReplyDeleteWow, the fun starts now eh? ;-)
ReplyDeleteOooh, very nice. Are you SURE you don't want to do mine for me? Really?
ReplyDeleteUmmm how many exactly have you had to baste. I have to say I did my cushion as I went along which felt like it took for ages. But I couldn't do it in advance because I wanted to hand pick the fabrics as I went along.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the first few rounds so I can get a good look!
ReplyDeletewow, these look great, I have to get started on this! I bought the templates but have made zero progress, this just may give me the push I need! :)
ReplyDeletewow, that is disciplined not to sew as you go! Have fun, I really enjoyed sewing mine and they turn out fabulous
ReplyDeleteHadley way to go!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours you are using and hopefully you are working out in the sun in a nice comfy chair.
ReplyDeleteI prepped mine in exactly this way, I felt very disciplined and I was able to lay it all out in a "dry run".
ReplyDeleteHow mahusive? I am aiming for the 28" or maybe bigger if I don't straighten the edges.
Gorgeous pile but that looks like my idea of hell have to baste all those ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's great to get them all out of the way first! =D
ReplyDeleteI love basting hexies, very therapeutic! Enjoy putting them together!
ReplyDeleteYou must be so much more patient than me! I have to baste, then sew a few, then baste.... Love the fabrics
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be a monster of a cushion!
ReplyDeleteWow. I don't know when I will be putting the templates that I bought to use. Your hexies look great.
ReplyDeleteOMG That tastes some serious focus! I'd get bored!
ReplyDeleteWith you all the way Hadders ... I like to pre baste and then construct ... I've cut all my papers, cut all my fabric and just started the basting. I really enjoy every step of the epp process.
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of fabrics and looking forward to seeing it in all its mahusiveness. x
EEEE! This is so delicious! I can't wait to see more!
