The Victoria Line

Progress on my hexie quilt is definitely linked to the fabrics I can lay my hands on. As a newcomer to quilting I have a very limited stash, in terms of quilting cotton, but quite a few odds and ends of other fabrics. 

The light blue Victoria line is definitely growing the fastest. I already have enough scraps cut for the section that I have drawn out so far - 43 pretty blue hexies. 

These fabrics are actually mostly cotton. From left to right:

some blue silk the colour of a pale summer sky

two bits from fat quarters I bought and can't remember what I bought them for

Zoom in Teal from the robotics range by Rebekah Ginda for Birch Organic Fabrics

scraps from my daughters' school shirts, no longer needed since they're all grown up now

some Kona cotton that matches the Robotics print perfectly (if I ever get it finished I'll show you what the robotics prints were for)

and, at the top, a pale spotty fabric that I only had enough of for two hexies. I found these little square scraps in the scrap bin at The Village Haberdashery

I really do need to draw out the rest of the map, other wise I'll end up with the edge sections using completely different fabrics just because I haven't allowed for them.

And that wouldn't look good at all.
