I still didn't make progress on anything other than my hexies.
Maybe it's because my supervisor was distracted?
While she was bird watching, I was cutting and gluing hexies.
On Sunday, before work I sewed together the last of the diamond blocks.
I thought it would be nice to keep them in my newly made block keeper...
I left them right where they were, piled up on top of the project box.

So Monday while Belle was bird watching I was as I said, preparing some more flower blocks. I have some already prepared, but want to stay ahead so each day I cut and glue at least one flower worth of hexies and a good few neutral hexies too. Did I mention that I'll need over 500 neutral hexies?
Once I had had enough of cutting a gluing I set about sewing the first flower together.
Very pretty too.
But those diamonds were calling to me. And a little voice was whispering in my ear. Maybe it was the squirrel, but he usually shouts... Anyway, who ever it was, they were telling me that I should perhaps join as go, rather than save all the joining to the end.
So I started to join diamonds.
And by bed time I had four of the six all together.
I'm hoping to get a chance to do some more today, but we have a meeting at work, and I have an extra 5pm - 9pm shift that I have agreed to cover, plus lots of chores to do as I neglected them yesterday.
I'm sure I can manage to squeeze in a little sewing time somewhere. LOL

I will have to find somewhere else to keep my progress though.
I put it there for just a moment while I had a quick tidy up of threads and scissors, I looked up and.....
Problem is, there is nowhere in this house that she doesn't consider to be her space and good for a snooze.

Right, time to get on with the day, the sooner I start the chores, the sooner I get finished.

Belle just needs to supervise and protect your quilt. You’re sling great progress.
I love that big hexie flower. That pink floral print is so eye catching and lovely. Good idea sewing the blocks together as you go. You'll be able to reuse your papers more quickly too.
Belle really wants to be involved in this quilt! You are going really well with your hexies.
Well, Anorina pipped me to it! I too was going to say that sewing the diamonds together meant more papers you can reuse! Haha. I do love your pretty flower block. xx
Progress is still progress at whatever rate. Sometimes we just change our priorities according to our needs and desires.
Love your Hexie flower!
Throw out the plan! I love to make plans but it seems I never keep them. The hexes are lovely and they're such fun to make-go you.
It is a good idea to join the hexies as you go. For me, those types of things add the motivation level and make sure they get done.
