Candied Hexagons

This week I've finally decided to start working on my versions of the Candied Hexagon quilt that Janet made famous. She was also gracious enough to post close-up photos of her quilt here - just what this perfectionist person needed!

So I spent yesterday tracing pattern pieces and cutting out freezer paper templates. I've got enough for 6 blocks so far, I think. Lots and lots more work to do, but I enjoy every aspect of english paper piecing, so it's all good.

I'm thinking of doing 2 quilts at the same time - one in brown/pink/cream and another in red/black/white. I'm also thinking of making them more rectangular, rather than square like the pattern calls for. We'll see how things progress, though.

Next step - start pulling fabrics from the stash!!
