Norah, that is just beautiful!! Hexagons are one of my fears, although not as much since Patrice's class in chat. As my mil would say, "I wish I had that one and you had something prettier :) "

Fantastic!

TerryS 01-12-2008 06:17 AM

Oh my! I envy you. Your quilt is gorgeous. I started one a year ago, and of course I only have 20 blocks done out of 51. Congrats on getting it done. I think I will down load your pic and hang it on my fridge to remind me there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it is beautiful.

What a great quilt.....wonderful colors....

Riley 01-12-2008 07:03 AM

Norah, What a lovely piece of work! I really like how the smaller hexs look & gives you a better amount of the flowers. Makes it look more antique, I think.

I wish I had done the smaller hexs when I made mine. But I didn't so.. maybe the next one?

Great job!
Riley

Norah 01-12-2008 10:03 AM

Riley, is that avatar your quilt?? Absolutely stunning!

Thank you very much Norah, you are very kind! The avatar is one of the quilts I made with all hexs. It was a quilt as you go type quilt. :shock:
Cut out, stuff, then slip stitch together.(I won't try that again, preferring to stick to regular stitching & quilting!)

I do wish I had of made my hexs smaller on the GFG, as said earlier. May I ask what size your hexs are? They are just right! I think my next one will be one made of 1930 Repos.(when I get finished with all these other things! :mrgreen: )


Celeste 01-12-2008 01:20 PM

Riley, that is a beautiful quilt, and I think the hexagons are a perfect size!

live2teach 01-12-2008 03:18 PM

That is absolutely gorgeous! I love the pattern and the colors are wonderful! You are very talented.

Dee 01-12-2008 03:35 PM

Beautiful job. I am planning on making one as one of my later projects.

grammy 01-13-2008 04:31 PM

A far braver person than I will ever be to tackle all those little hexagons and by hand.
