I started out making a small hexagon throw for myself for the evenings when it's cool. Then I decided I wanted to make it a square/rectangle and one thing led to another and it just grew. There are about 3500 hexagons. The second picture is a small doll quilt I made with the leftovers.

Wow, what a lot of work. They turned out beautiful

Oh my, that is alot of work. Did you do it by hand? Love it.

Gosh, Girl, what patience you have! what a beautiful quilt!

OMG! That is a LOT of sewing. LOL. It is just beautiful..

WHEW! Wonderful quilt! I can't begin to imagine the patience you must have!

All I can say is: holy hexagons! that's awesome.

No Way - Holy Cow - and I mean that in a good way!

I cut out a ton of these probably 50 or more - for a tote bag I made my daughter. I HATE working with them. PM if you'd be interested in taking them off my hands....I'll send you pictures of what I have but I was actually going to throw them away!

wowza thats alot of hex's

Oh I meant to tell you it was really cool the way you quilted these - I just hit send too quickly! Fingers going faster than the brain!

That is one AMAZING quilt. I love it, so many colors!

Just a few hexagons, huh?
I think that's more than a few. How long did it take you?

Hate to see what you call a lot of hexagons! Awesome!

I don't think I could work on this! I get vertigo and this is definitely busy. Beautiful but busy :?

Oh my goodness, that is a heck of a lot of hexagons. It's beautiful, do you still have any stash left?

That's just beautiful. I take my hexi's with me alot and work on them when I need something to do with my hands. Can I ask how you did the backing?

Oh, how fun! Those are great!

OMG can you still see?

I'm getting tired just looking at all those hexagons!!!!!! :shock: :shock: It's beautiful!! Not sure if I could do it -- although............. :?

I LOVE it!! What size are your hexes?

How big are they? I'm waiting to get old and gray to start one of these. Oh wait a minute--I am gray, just getting old--not there yet.
Anyway--it is a gorgeous quilt--even the doll quilt! Thanks for sharing.

Someone claimed my hexagon's - glad they are going to a good home!

Wonderful quilt! I'd like to make one like it but I'm too old to start now. :-)

Very ambitious!!! Lots of hard work. Very nice.

Absolutely beautiful - I assume it's English Paper Pieced? This was how I first started to quilt, aged 9 and I still pick it up from time to time (not the same quilt obviously, I'm not QUITE that bad with my WIPs!) How big are your hexes?

WOW!

Wow I love it. How long did that take? These types of quilts are my favorite. So much color. Beautiful!

WOW! That's a lot of hexes!

My goodness....what patience you have! Mine would have ended up being a miniature :-) as I can't do hand sewing.

Actually, the big one isn't quilted yet, it's just a top but I plan to just lop off half of the hexagons around the border and layer, quilt and bind it. I do have one though that I am just laying it on the borders and appliquing it down.

I use freezer paper for the base of the hexagons and it is all hand pieced. I just went through my scrap bins and used whatever I had and believe me I still have lots of stash left. Those little 2" squares that I used didn't use up much of the fabric I had.

Thanks everybody for commenting and I do this in the evening while watching TV.

What a fantastic quilt! I love it. A lot of work but hey! what an achievement. Well done.

Grandmothers Garden never looked sew good :!:

I love this! This is what I'm doing now. I'm making hexagons from all the quilt scraps I've saved up from previous quilts. So far I've made 340...only about 2,000 more to go!

love,love,love that random look...it looks so well planned!

Amazing! Beautiful job.

Well, if youre going to have an addiction, why not hexagons. Question is, whats next????

I'm overwhelmed....so nice.

A few?? that is awesome!!

Must have been some good movies on tv. You forgot to stop.
lol.
