I've talked about this before. The guild members are challenged to make a smaller quilt for the town Museum. The display for the quilts is up usually all of May and June. It is always a popular display with residents and tourists. This year the museum was closed because of the (dreaded) Corona Virus. We'll hopefully use these quilts next year when it's open. This year's challenge was to make anything you wanted with the size 12" x 48". I used the opportunity to make a "hexie" quilt. You form a small piece of fabric around a hexagon paper pattern, basting it on and then hand stitching to the next hexie. It's called "English Paper Piecing" and it's lots of fun but very time consuming. I appliqued the edge to a strip of black fabric and hand quilted it.
