Cape Cod Dreams

Her Name is Cape Cod Dreams, aka The New hexagon Millefiori quilt by Katya Marek.  I'm doing her in colors that echo my love of the Cape.

I had this awful moment yesterday when I realized that I had turned one of the outer blocks in the wrong direction.  Didn't notice it until I started to attach the next hexie.  For those who think that these quilts are easy to rip out: Hah!  Let me tell you about little whip stitches and how they resist frogging.  It is very very easy to make a mistake in placement. So I had better be vigilant because I do not want to rip these babies.  What a misery of a job.  But now she looks just fine.  Yay, CCMillie!

    That is an amazing block. The colours look wonderful together. I've been toying with the idea of making something with EPP but this looks harder than I want. I admire you for making this.

    I agree with Helen. Your block is just gorgeous. I haven't jumped into the EPP yet, either, and am hesitant to try. It's tempting after seeing yours, though!
