Hexagons Galore

We were challenged in the Textiles course, to start a project with a long-term view - that is, to start something 'now' but not expect to finish it for quite a few years. We were given some examples of what these projects might look like and; I decided on this one...
Each of these hexagons are about 2cm wide...
Call me crazy!!! But one of these days these will be a Queen-size quilt - if I live long enough to finish it... that is!!!

And here's some squares cut to 2", ready to be folded over the templates.
On the last count, I think there are something like 2,500 squares in this lot... doesn't look like it, does it? And as you can see, I'm concentrating on shades of greens and pinks - the pinks go into the burgundy range with splashes of red to give it a boost! And of course, other colours get a guernsey because of the various fabrics and prints chosen.

And herewith is one of the blocks, set aside for its mates to be finished.

And herewith another Hexie masterpiece!
