Progress: the first 7 days of my 100 Day Project, #100daysofepphexies.
 |
| January 31 through February 6 of The 100 Day Project. |
I'm using 3/4" hexagon papers for English paper piecing [EPP] and selective cutting (fussy cutting) motifs from the fabrics.
 |
| 3/4" hexagons with fussy cut images. |
Initially, I thought I would do a single hexie a day. However... there are often multiple images on a piece of fabric—the same image or different, but related—that shout out to be included. As long as I'm tracing and cutting, I might as well take advantage of what that fabric offers.

Tools
Daily posts of The 100 Day Project are on my Instagram [veronica.fiberantics] and Facebook feeds. One of my friends commented that she was impressed that I liked all the handwork.
Confession: I'm using a fabric glue pen to glue-baste these hexies. I haven't been thread basting any of these hexies.

It's all about the right tools to:
- make the process more efficient,
- make it more accurate,
- make the assembly easier or quicker,
- ______ (fill in the blank).
- and, in the end, to enjoy the process more!
That's what it's all about—enjoying the process. Don't you think?
