Mickey and friends
 

My niece loves all things Disney (her daughters are named after Disney characters) so when Missouri Star had this layer cake as their daily deal I immediately thought of her. The pattern is Missouri Star's half-hexi block. Making the hexis resulted in left over half-diamonds so I sewed those together to use in the border. (with bonus quilt inspector - I've given up trying to get a picture without him).

just love your mickey and friends. Border is a nice plus.

very nice job!!!

Love it! My grandson loves Mickey as well!

A great use of leftovers in the border. Your niece will be one happy girl with her "Mickey" quilt.

I love it and the border is awesome.

too, too cute...great use of leftovers, too.

Very nice.

Nice. Beautiful cat.

Great quilt and love the inspector!!

nicely done

Love the Mickey quilt and you chose a wonderful pattern. Great job.

Such a nice quilt!

Super cute!

Nice! I'm sure it will be cherished!

Such a cheerful quilt with a diligent inspector.

I love that pattern. MSQC featured that in their daily deal today. Great quilt.

I love this!!! And the inspector looks great as well. Seems to be doing an excellent job!

Good looking Mickey quilt.

Very cute! I love Mickey Mouse!

Great quilt, nice pattern! First thought the cat was appliqué :o ...until I noticed the tail and read your comment about "quilt inspector"

Great quilt! That template is a special on MSQC today.

Great quilt and I think your quilt inspector agrees. He and my cat TJ could be twins, as they look so alike.

The border sets off the rest of the quilt. Great job!

That block just says "stained glass" to me. The border is really clever.

Super. Love the border. BrendaK

I have watched the video for this pattern. I would think you could make those blocks in one line a mile long and then cut off the blocks as you need them. You would waste a lot less that way. I haven't done it so don't know if it would work. I would just keep adding the black strips and half hexies and cut off blocks as I go. Do you think it would work?

Your niece is going to love it...the black sashing sets of the Disney prints nicely and I love what you did with the leftovers in the border. Great job!

Very nice...love the pattern too
Cats just love our sewing projects.

Love it ! Those borders are ingenious really finishes it off.You should send pic to MSQC

I don't know why that wouldn't work. It's essentially a braid quilt cut into 12.5 inch blocks. Jenny's method does create a lot of waste. I made a table runner with part of it and I still quite a lot left.

I sent it to them for quilting. They included a nice note when they returned it.

And thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

That's a great idea, I never thought of that!! I've made two quilts now from that pattern. Also made a couple table runners, adding strips until I got the length I wanted. That would save a lot of fabric and would be much quicker. The pattern results in blocks 12 1/2 inches long and mine were 13 inches wide that had to cut down to 12 1/2 to make the block square. By keep adding half hexes, I could cut the blocks square at 13". Going to give it a try on the next one. Everyone that has seen my quilts like that pattern.

You need to send this pic to MSQC so they can see what you did with the cut off parts. I never did it because of the waste. Thank you. It is gorgeous.

It's a great quilt and lovely generous gift. Now I am curious. What are the daughters' names?

Very nice; and compliments to the Quilt Inspector! :)

Kitty likes it too...Good job..

Very nice quilt.
