seriously now...I have enough projects on my plate without being inspired to add MORE from your beautiful quilts!!

This actually is on my to-do list - I added it about 3 years ago and even purchased the hexagon "quilt patis" to do it!

Incredible job on the quilts

I didn't do the quilting myself - I have a close friend who is 96 that loves hand quilting and I had her do the quilting.

The quilt is a queen size and I have no clue how much fabric I used or how many blocks I made. It was one of the first quilt I ever made and back then I didn't keep track of any useful information. All I know is I worked steadily for quite a while.

If you look in the tutorials section, Patrice has step by step instructions with photos that show machine piecing this pattern.

well the top is awesome but I must really give a hand to your quilter! That must be why she has lived so long! Old quilters never die, the just get worn around the edges! :D
