But long car rides and sitting in waiting rooms and sitting around the table with relatives -- I'm filling in those hours of my life with quiet, relaxing hexagon stitching. <br /> <br />I doubt I'll ever make a full-sized Q like the beauties you're showing here, but any smaller project I finish will make me feel like I used those hours wisely. <br />The first quilt with the elongated blocks is so striking!
