Assembly of quilt tops

I have been assembling tops lately. The hexi blocks are all together now.  I have an idea of a border treatment that involves more hexi blocks using up all those odd pieces of warm brown fabric.

It was time to put together the circa 1880 blocks as I had to order additional fabric for the plain blocks.  No excuse now!  I decided to complete mine with a light fabric versus a tan fabric.  I wanted a light airy quilt.  There are many more blocks and this is for a queen sized bed.  So far I love it.

Next Steps with Hexi Blocks

I am closing in on having enough blocks for my hexi flowers.  I have started to trim them all to 7.25 and make a four patch the same size. I am loving how this is turning out.  The colors are truer in the first photo.  It seems very soothing and just as I pictured in my mind.
