La Passion, Again

My fascination with this project has fired back up.  I have been working on this piece for more than three years now.  I started in September of 2013.  I go between periods of frantic stitching and periods of looking at it and feeling guilty that I haven’t done anything.  Well, now I’m frantic.  I’ve set a goal for myself to add at least 20 hexies per day, and I have done that for the past few weeks.  It does take away from my machine sewing, so I have fewer completed projects to share.

The original La Passion, along with the pattern and instructions, can be found on Grit’s blog.  Grit designed the quilt herself, and shared the pattern for free.  The website is in German, but Grit has added English translations as well.  You don’t really need more than the pattern, though.  EPP instructions are readily available all over the internet.
