I have hand-pieced two blankets this way. Yours is looking lovely.

I kind of have an aversion to using a needle and thread (especially for maintenance sewing!). However, I did a lot of cross-stitch ('creative' artwork),but put it aside after learning to tat). And I do love to hand quilt, as I find it so relaxing, but it also takes too much time and makes my fingers sore! Obviously you hand piece as quickly as you tat! This is such a great way to use up one's fabric stash.

Machine sewing makes it more like a 'business' and hand sewing more like a hobby! Well, I understand what I'm trying to say!

The hexagons are 1 ½" each side or 2 ½" flat side to flat side across OR 3" from point to point!!!Jane Eborallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129528958253092545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-3985196096890640342015-11-11T15:06:42.551+00:002015-11-11T15:06:42.551+00:00Wonderful patchwork.

I have used pentagons the same way - amazingly they join to make a ball.
