My first finish of the 2016 FAL list is #9 mini. It's also my OMG goal for January. Yes, I'm killing two birds with one stone :) no actually three :))
It's made out of 20 scraps and it also caries out my word for the year 2016 which is TWENTY.
I choose this word to remind myself that even 20 minutes a day can make a difference. I was also inspired by #sewtake20
I quilted straight lines in number of colors. Each hexagon is crossed twice which can be interpreted like checking of my goals.
I was asked by my hubby if I'm making a map. It sort of looks like map of Czechoslovakia which no longer exists. We are Czech Republic and Slovakia these days.
Anyway I decided to change the direction as it suits my space better.
It doesn't really look like my first drafts but that's the way I roll.
See, fits perfectly :)

It's wonderful and fits so nicely in your space. Great finish!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I'm working on a hexie mini and may use similar quilting on mine--I like how yours looks.
ReplyDeleteAlso--your colored pouches are fabulous!
It's perfect for that space - what a sweet finish!
ReplyDeleteLove these hexies! And the rainbow thread!
ReplyDeleteI have not fit my 20 in today - I love this reminder!
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my blog. I LOVE this finish and I'm so happy I followed the trail back to your blog. Rainbows of color make me happy, especially when they are paired with hexagons. The meaning behind your quilting and design is wonderful since this mini quilt seems to be hanging above your work station. Every time you look at it you can be reminded of your goals and see the results checked off in front of you. Now I need to scroll down because I think I spotted a Star Wars icon in the next post. ;).
ReplyDeleteOh it does fit perfectly and what a creative, inventive reminder to get your 20 minutes a day in. (I need to get my mini word quilt done today) V
ReplyDeleteLove your mini quilt and twenty is a great word. 20 mins a day can make a difference! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts Word 16.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish. I like how there is so much meaning in the mini. It looks beautiful in its hanging place.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love how it looks in your sewing space! Plus, that little pop in the binding is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYour mini is beautiful. And such a clever way to multitask.
ReplyDeleteNice finish. I like the whole thing but especially how you quilted it.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting way of using hexagons; the arrangement and the quilting are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful and it does fit perfectly with all the other pieces. I really like the bright colors.
ReplyDeleteI see the rainbow map of Czechoslovakia! I do like how you are decorating your sewing space.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I've missed some of your posts Vera . Love the hexies
