Before I show you my hexies, here's the lap quilt I made using Jenny Doan's Self Binding Receiving Blanket tutorial. Go
here to read about it. This one is going to a local Breast Cancer Center. I was wondering if it would work as a rectangle - Jenny made a square one - and yes, it does work as long as you mark those centers. It measures around 38 by 46. I'll be making more like this one.

| I only had about a 5" square of waste using this method. |

| Here's the back. |
It took me about 20 minutes to make not counting washing the flannel so that it would shrink.
Now for Hexies. I took out that piece Deanna gave me and decided to sew it to the background.

| I cut a wide border for around this 20" by 19" group of hexies. |

| This photo is more true to the colors of the pieces. |

I decided to machine applique it to the background using a tiny zig zag
stitch, a 60/8 sharp needle with pale green Invisifil thread and Bottom Line in the bobbin. |
So that's it - a finish and progress on one of my hexies. What have you been working on? Linky below (this week ends 3/6, Thursday, near midnight). Remember it doesn't have to be hexies. Billie and I like all sorts of projects. And this week by linking, you're automatically entered in my blog anniversary giveaway. That post coming up next.
