Learning to quilt

On Instagram, you can see all kinds of beautiful quilts, it seems quilting is becoming popular again. There is something so cozy and homey feeling about a quilt on a bed, no matter what time of year.
  I decided  to make one myself and found the hexi quilts that are english paper pieced interesting. I am making a 2 1/2" hexi that I plan to stitch into a light/medium/dark diagonal stripe pattern.
  Right now though, it is well over 100° each day. So along with the many reasons I am excited  about fall now I have my quilt. There is something so relaxing about fixing a cup of tea, finding a good TV show or podcast to watch and just cranking out little hexi blocks.
