Baby, it's cold outside. It is so cold outside that I have stayed indoors and worked on my hexagon quilt. I began it in 2008 or 2009. So I have decided to get the quilt finished THIS YEAR--my 10 year quilt. 

I work on this quilt when I travel. It has been from Mississippi to New York (three times), Gatlinburg (lots of times), Michigan (more than 10 times), to Colorado and Wyoming, Indiana and states in between, then on seven mission trips. Many of the green hexies were sewn late one night in an overnight stay in Lima, Peru airport. 

I still have four more rows. Since it has taken so many years, I am wondering "do I hand quilt or machine quilt"? I am leaning toward machine quilting, because I may never finish it if it takes ten years to quilt. 

Happy New Year
