These Addicting Hexagons

I am having a mild flared of my CRPS so am not able to spend much time at my sewing machine or long arm.  Thank goodness I found inklingo, now I have plenty of hand work to do while I am grounded to my chair.  Being somewhat anal I found I need to have stations for my hexagons.
This kit the beginning stage:
Once my flower is done it goes on to the ironing stage:
Once ironed they hit the next stage to have the white and or green added
The final stage will be to sew together and I have a final bin for that as well.  It's amazing how quickly these little things go together, I already have 45 done.  It does take more time to put the white and green on.  Once all the flowers are made, there will be 110, I expect finishing will take longer.  Stay tuned for more of the hexagon journey.

Hexagons

Just recently I discovered the joys of inkling.com.  This is a program where you can print sewing lines onto your fabric. In the past, to make hexagon, you had to use the English paper piecing method I found this quite tedious and not at all appealing.  I really wanted to make a hexagon quilt, but as I said before did not want to do use the English paper piecing method. Now that I purchased inklingo.com I've been happily printing and makeing hexagons. I am going to be making a grandmother flower garden with my hexagons. Here's a picture of some of the fabrics I have so far cut out.  Stay tuned for progress #hexagons
