WIP....Hexi paper piecing

I have no idea when I will finish this or quite what it will look like when I am finished....it is my first attempt at paper piecing.  I have used a Clover plastic template and made all my paper inserts (I found a "Fat Face" catalogue the ideal weight for the inserts) and then have been tacking them in a method that means the paper is easily removable without needing to take the tacking out.  The fabric is a selection of random pre-cut fat quarters from my local fabric shop - Hometown, in Rochester.  I have kept to the basic rule of keeping the central hexi plain and the fabric for the surrounding ones the same, using small pattern prints. This is my on the go project where I keep some fabric and templates in my travel sewing kit so I can keep doing it when I am caught hanging about in the car, generally on school pick ups. Anyway, I will post updates in the future and give it a number when it is completed.
