Oh my word! This is such an accomplishment and such a beautiful finish. I love hexies and IF I’d ever make one, I’d love to do Grandmothers Garden with the old lot green path through it. I don’t know the name of the shade green but I want to make it like an old quilt. IF I ever make one. Perseverance, on something I may get tired of doing, is something I may lack. Also, when I start something I want to stick with it to the finish which wouldn’t be easy with a hexagon quilt. I may never make one-lol
Yours is delightful, with so many bright and different colors. A beauty for sure. I too am curious about the size of your hexies and your finish size. Congratulations on your finish!

How big is this? I hope a good size for display, not just on a bed or folded as it deserves to be admired.
Great job!

I started a Tula Nova in late March. Oh. My. Goodness.... It might end up a cushion rather than a quilt! I don't dislike doing it, but chosing the fabrics for each unit is challenging. I should have done as you did, and done a simple, randomly colored EPP project first.
Until I saw the enlarged border, I was going to ask if you'd appliqued it onto a background. That's a great finish, and makes the colors really pop.
