How long did it take you to make all those and put them into the quilt?
Hi Melanie - nice to see your face in your new avatar! :D
I was an evening lining up the fabric and cutting the triangles then probably a couple of days in total sewing it all together, over four or five sessions of a couple of hours each. I did like she said in the book and after I pieced the half hexagons, pinned them and put them up on the wall; I did move them round a lot before I finally decided it was as good as it was going to get! I'm dying to make another one with better fabric, as soon as I find some. I'm now emailing suppliers online to ask the size of motifs and pattern repeats - they just don't put that info on their sites - if you find one that does, please let me know! I'd love something like the chicken fabric she uses in the book, I've all but given up on dog fabric!
