    Oh my, your quilt is beautiful! I think I know what I want to do with the hexies I've been making! Thanks for the inspiration.

    Love your pattern. You did a really nice job. I did a traditional GFG.

    Sometimes I feel that way FabStripper. Hey, I was born in 1952. I wouldn't want to live with out a microwave oven. I don't have a smart phone or an iPad, I listen to CDs for music and I can't watch videos because I am still running XP. Guess I am living in the dark ages.

    I forgot the microwave! But you listen to CDs and not 8-track tapes, right? You are not living in the dark ages.

Before you quilt it, check out Greta Gama's website. She does a wonderful job quilting hexagons. You've done a wonderful job piecing by the way.
    Do you or someone have the website for Greta
    Gama....I could not find it by searching

    That's probably the most beautiful hexie quilt I've seen. It is just gorgeous. I've never seen one with a picket fence. Adds so much interest.

    That is absolutely beautiful! I love hexies and yours is so pretty. The little red diamond "picket fence" really sets it off nicely.

    That is exquisite. Really like the red diamonds for contrast. Great job!
