I am hand sewing the top, but plan to machine quilt it, and possible machine piece a border.

You are doing a great job! I have quilted for at least 20 years & I wouldn't tackle hand sewing or hexies. I just don't have the patience.

audsgirl 02-17-2015 09:16 PM

You rock! That is going to be a fabulous quilt. Thanks for the peek.

Thanks for all your welcoming and supportive comments!
Lynnie- I think the hexies are 1.25".
I will post more progress pictures along the way.

That is a pattern I want to try. What size are your hexi's??

shy 02-19-2015 06:30 AM

I hAd a hex quilt on here a while back..hand done..I also machine quilted it..I found that with all the seams..that a circle in each hex worked well for the quilting..and shows well..just an idea..have fun doing the quilt..I have made 7 bed size hand pieced hex quilts..starting on my 8th..I have enjoyed every minute of making them..can't always say that for my machine quilts..lol
