More hexies

Progress is being made on the hexie quilt.  This thing is going to be enormous!  I have 1772 hexagons that have been sewn into strips and now I am adding hexies to the strips, to make strips of nine.  I think this technique is going to help me distribute the colors and fabrics evenly, as well as incorporate some light colored fabrics.
It's hard to believe that there are over 1200 hexies stacked on this tray!
Chase found the tray the other night...
and got really comfortable.  He does this with every project I work on.  What can I say?  The pup loves fabric!
Aaron's cousin, Tom, is here for a few days and took some pics of us on a bike ride yesterday.  Tom rode Aaron's bike, so I rode with Ethan in the Christiania.  Riding bikes has become such a part of our life here.  I absolutely love the bike culture in Denmark.  
We are going to bike downtown today and show Tom Copenhagen.  On the list: Nyhavn, Christiania, Strøget, smørrebrød and/or pølser, flødeboller, and Danish pastries, but not in that order.  We're glad that he could come and visit--it's been so much fun!
My brother got engaged to the most wonderful woman yesterday and the whole family is thrilled!  Ethan is getting another fabulous auntie!

Yay for hexies! I am in absolute awe of how many hexies you have produced especially with a baby! I am working on my own hexagon project (which is how I found your blog) but it's not nearly as complex, as the hexies are bigger, and it's going to take nearly a year!
So impressive..

My dad's in Copenhagen for a layover this week! I'm so jealous of him!
Love the picture of all of you!

I love all the pictures, Em! Chase looks so cozy on the hexagons. When are you going to make HIM his very own quilt?
