WIP Wednesday: Hexicrack Edition!

As most of you should know by now, I've been working on a quilt for a few months now. It's been really slow going, and I really need to pick up the pace. But alas, I've been lazy THE WORLD ALMOST ENDED! I started this venture after War of the Wings VI this year, and I knew it would be a large undertaking, but I seriously underestimated the volume of work I had put on my plate.

In order to get this quilt to be the size I want, I need to make over 900 hexipuffs. 900. What was I thinking!? If the hexipuffs worked up faster, I don't think I would have as much of an issue, but when each puff takes between 30 minutes to an hour to complete.............There just aren't enough hours in the day. So, without further ado, here are some pictures of the glorious hexipuffs!

Here is all 18 of the hexipuffs I have next to each other. Having them
set up this way will give you an idea of how the quilt will look once complete.

Some more

And more

Yet again, more

Some yarn I have for making the hexipuffs. This won't be anywhere
near enough, but it's a start.

Bad Blogger!

I'm sorry, I've been a bad blogger. I haven't updated since September 24th, and I wish I had because some really cool stuff has happened! However, I have some cool ideas of how to get me back in the swing of blogging.

First, I'm going to have WIP Wednesday! What's that? Simple, it's where I show off my Works in Progress (on Wednesday!). It'll help me keep track of how long I've been working on projects and you guys get to see what cool things are on my needles!

Then there's FO Friday. FO stands for Finished Object, so that means all the projects I've finished in the past week will be posted on Fridays! This will help keep me productive or at least honest with how productive I've been.

Then I'm periodically going to be touching on my Beekeeper's Quilt. It's a crazy project that's going to take me over a year to finish, and I cannot wait! I've been a little slack lately with all the holiday stuff going on, but I'll get back into the groove of making those hexipuffs!

Here's hoping it won't be another 2 months until you guys here from me again! ^_^;;

Peace off!
