Hexed again

We had a power cut from early on Christmas Eve till the following Sunday and while I was powerless to stitch by machine I went all hand stitchy! I made these hexies inside hexies ....


What I call whirling stars...


Some kite shaped wedges....



Triangles within....


More stars...


Not sure what to call these...


One triangle within....





Ending up with this many hexies - I can barely fit them all in the photo!




Oh dear since the electricity was re-connected I haven't made a single one! This could end up quite a big quilt if I don't get too distracted......and the one thing I have done since I've had power again is to join the fun on IG thanks to a Christmas present from my family and the best thing is that I have techy  help at hand as my youngest has an iPad and knows how to use it.  (This post was brought to you by IG and iPad ). My IG handle is predictably nickyeglinton - had a great welcome thanks to the lovely quilty crowd!

    You poor thing, you must have been so cold with no electricity, hope you kept warm under quilts.
    Your hexies are beautiful.

    Eek on the power loss - so are you spending the compensation on fabric to replenish your stock used on hexies? ;o)
