The Hexagons March On

I have put together 340 hexagons this month, in between other things. That's a fifth of the quilt. While I am happy to have visible progress, I also really just want the quilt already, and a fifth seems like a pittance, especially since my rosy-eyed goal for the month was almost half a quilt. I have begun bribing myself with stickers. I'm gonna have at least 70 cute little stickers at the end of this.

I have learned several valuable lessons so far:

1) Don't make a large quilt by hand out of small hexagons
2) Stop using questionable fabrics and small seam allowances
3) If your pattern tesselates, you really do have to accurately cut your templates
4) It's easier to make progress if you don't let the numbers intimidate you

But also I just really want the dang quilt finished and on my bed.
