Spot of Tea

Much of the weekend was consumed with tea (English Breakfast), paper piecing (also English) and  British television.
Hubby bought me a new teapot to replace my Grandmothers which is looking frail and developing several new crackles in it's finish.

Isn't it the cutest teapot ever! And it even matches my favorite mug. More importantly, it makes a good pot of tea. Quite a bit of tea, 10 cups actually. Enough tea to keep me hydrated all day.

While drinking tea, I was sewing away on my hexies. First one, then another.

Until I had finished all of row 1. But just notice if you will, how I have them connected now. This is how I thought I had sketched out the layout.

But don't you know that it was wrong. After attaching all the hexies together, I then pulled out the sketch and discovered my problem.

It's it funny how un-sewing takes less time the the actual sewing?
Then I started over, drafted my linking triangles and sewed them all the correct way.
Row 1. But I've already started row 2 and it keeps looking better.
Did I just say that? I did and I really mean it. I really like it all together. I may not like each hexie but I like them all sewn together.
Who knows, this could become my favorite quilt!

I just have one question to anyone out there who has done English paper piecing.
When do I remove the papers?

Time for me to start the day, so I much leave you till tomorrow.
Take care, Brandie
