Hexie BOM: March

I admit that my biggest failing with this blog is getting around to taking pictures of the things after they have been completed. The trouble is I tend to craft in the evenings after work and by the time I have finished something the light has gone and the pictures don't look very good in the indoor light. So I inevitably think that I will take a photo in the daylight, then start making the next thing and never get around to taking the picture!

Anyway, I have finally taken a picture of the March Hexie BOM. The March design from the Hexie Blog BOM was a shamrock for St Patrick's Day. However, as I am using the fat-quarter material I already had mine has a less green feel about it but I still think it worked out really pretty.

I've also finished the April BOM (and taken a photo of it!) which I'll post next week. I've fallen a little behind with the BOM - I ran out of ready made hexies and it does take a bit of time to make them each month. However, having seen the half made quilt on the Hexie Blog it really inspired me to stick with it. So the May block is underway. I may not finish this all in a year (in fact it is highly unlikely with all of the sewing together of the quilt top), but I am determined that I will finish this however long it takes me!
