It is only because of this board that I am almost 3,000 of 6,000 hexies into a Hand EPP GFG. Great inspiration right when I was looking for a portable hand pieced quilt.

Love it!

I like the colours also. My husband knows better than to ask for that though since he has watched the slow progress of my Hand EPP GFG. I can't find my camera cord to upload a current photo but here...
