I'm coming down the home stretch toward assembling parts of Jen Kingwell's My Small World. The hills are all that's left before I start putting various pieces together. I decided to skip over the New York Beauty hill for now until I figure out how I'll do it. The nice thing about this wallhanging is that we are encouraged to personalize it. Maybe I need some mountains instead of hills for this segment, but I'll see once I start putting this section together.
Yesterday I finished glue basting the 30 1/2" hexagons I'll need for the hexie hill. I bought some heavier paper forms and a glue pen for English Paper Piecing, and they make it fairly easy so far. It is intense work, and I worry that the glue will stick too much to get the paper out. Guess I'll find out! I've never made so many - and so tiny - hexies for a project before. The above is what I did yesterday, and I hope to finish, if not today, then tomorrow. I have grocery shopping and a memorial service to distract me. And whatever should I make for dinner?

if you can lightly spritz some water over the glue area the papers will come easier I found if you have trouble with removing them
