Last we left off with the honeycomb quilt, I had attached all of the cut out hexagons to batting and they were awaiting me cutting them out and sewing them together in all the right places.

As you can see in the pictures above and below, for the hexagons I sewed all the sides except one and reinforced each corner with some extra stitching to make sure that they're extra sturdy for the years to come.  

The layers to "block" have two pieces of fabric (with printed sides facing inward) and the batting.  I did this so that I wouldn't have to figure out how to stuff batting into the shapes afterward and to ensure that the batting is secure. 

After all of the hexagons were sewn I trimmed the excess batting around the edges so that the outside wouldn't be too bulky or hard to maneuver when doing my hand stitching.  Mostly it was fussy work, but it gave me a good excuse to relax a little bit and do something a bit more mindless.

After that, I just flipped it right-side-out and tucked in the side I have yet to sew!  

These are all of the pieces I have so far, but more will almost certainly find their way into the stack as I wander through life and fall in love with even more fabric.

However, for the time being, I'll keep building on the center and working my way out.  Stitch by stitch, near miss to bleeding finger.  I don't have all of these stitched together quite yet, but some are in their place and I'm happy to go where it takes me.

Worst case scenario, I have gotten significantly better at my hand-stitching.  

Stay sweet, stay crafty, and stay tuned.
