Very fun to make.
Thank you. The queens sized one is heavy but the throw which is slightly shorter than I and I'm 5'3" is very light and so comfortable. My throw is my oldest granddaughter's favorite quilt and she uses it whenever she visits. To be honest, I do prefer the throw. It's pretty, it's coloful and it's fun but for daily use on a bed, unless you machine sew the hexagon's together, I think the hand stitching would pull apart. In 20 years though, I've only had to restitch may 10 of the short sides total so that's pretty good and it does get plenty of use.
