I'm still making hexagons for my Road 66 quilt from Di Ford's book, Primarily Quilts. These hexagons are 1 1/8" on each side. Compared to the 3/4" hexagons I am working on for my Aunt Sarah quilt, these seem huge. I need 18 full hexagons for the Road 66 quilt, and I have 13 sewn together. I only have enough of the border fabric that I want to use for that many hexagons. There are also 6 half hexagons and some partials that go in the corners. I am really enjoying this project, and I think I'll be a little sad when it is finished. I'm sure I have cut out and glued enough hexagons to make a good start on another one of these quilts!
I am looking at fabric a whole new way since I have started this hexagon project.
I've seen several people on line that are making crock pot freezer meals and others that are pinning recipes on Pinterest. So I decided to give several of them a try. These recipes came from www.mommysfabulousfinds.com. She has lots of different ideas for crock pot freezer meals.
I have frozen seven different meals from her web site. Tonight we are having Slow-Cooker Chicken Teriyaki. I will let you know how that turns out later on. Also on this web site there is a recipe for Sweet and Sour Baked Chicken that is out of this world. The pan was empty before I realized that I hadn't taken a photo! That recipe is definitely a keeper.
I will
Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
I hope you are finding just a little time to stitch today!
Your hexies are just gorgeous and thanks for the link to the crock pot recipes, very handy. Hope you have a Happy and safe Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLuAnn, you do such an awesome job of fussy-cutting on these blocks. I can't believe how beautiful they are!
ReplyDeleteI love your fussy-cut hexies! I can't wait to see your Road 66 quilt come together. Thanks for the links to the recipes ... I need all the help I can get planning meals ... otherwise, I find myself quilting and the next thing I know it's dinner time. ;-)
ReplyDeleteoh yes I love my croc pot (we call ours a slow cooker here in England). I bake jacket potatoes in mine.
ReplyDeleteMy kids request the sweet and sour chicken every week. It is delicious, but I am not wild about the prep. Beautiful Hexies.
ReplyDeleteGreat hexies! Sure makes you look at fabric in a whole new way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the crockpot recipe link.
I now have pages of recipes printed and a grocery list in progress. I love grabbing a meal out of the freezer. :)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful hexagons. You are doing a great job. I'll be looking forward to see the Route 66 done!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

The best projects are the ones we are sad to see the end of. Your fabric placements add so much to the blocks.

Brilliant idea with the crock pot bags! I love step savers.

I love your hexes and I know they can be addictive especially when fussy cutting. I'm off to look at the freezer meals, sounds like such a good idea
