Wow!! That is fantastic. Love the "black" borders as that really sets it off. Too, I enjoyed seeing how you chose to quilt it.
How big is this? I hope a good size for display, not just on a bed or folded as it deserves to be admired.
Great job!

It's wonderful! Now that you've got EPP down, will you do more?
I started a Tula Nova in late March. Oh. My. Goodness.... It might end up a cushion rather than a quilt! I don't dislike doing it, but chosing the fabrics for each unit is challenging. I should have done as you did, and done a simple, randomly colored EPP project first.
Until I saw the enlarged border, I was going to ask if you'd appliqued it onto a background. That's a great finish, and makes the colors really pop.

Love your quilt. Love the border that you created! Since I taught myself to quilt, I wouldn't know how to begin a hexie quilt, but I would take a class. Never EPPed either. Yours is inspiring!
