WIP Latest set of hand pieced hexagons

It has been very quiet on the stitching front as I commute between Perth and Wellington, get settled into my new role and try to spend a little time with my family.  Oh and pack up my fabrics and sewing machine!

But I have managed a few more hand pieced hexagons...




My favourite in this group is the wee hedgehogs wandering in a circle round the brown gingham. 

Hedgehogs are one (of the many) things I am overly enthusiastic about!  They were introduced to New Zealand by the British in the 1800's.  However they were either not introduced to Australia, or did not survive, so they are one of the things I'll miss as we make our home in Perth.



 
 
I'm pretty happy with the blue daises too, I was very careul to try and get the pattern perfectly lined up and I think it has been worth the effort!
 
 


 
 
It will be great to have my sewing machine with me in Perth, from now on, but with the ability to machine sew restored to me, this quilt might remain in the 'go slow' pile for awhile longer.
