Wow....really lovely blocks. Looks like you are hand piecing, but that maybe the only way to make this quilt. You might have guessed I do not have a clue

Keep up the good work.

Those blocks are very pretty. I have not tried one yet, but my grandmother had some. They are so pretty. I would like to try one sometime.

The hexagon's that I am using, measure's 3" across the narrow side. The block itself turns out to measure 16 1/2" across. So you can see the blocks are pretty big. I don't think I could ever make one as small as you have done!!

I am sewing them together on the sewing machine, but my Mother is sewing her's together by hand. Just making these two blocks I am hooked on this pattern. I will keep you posted as I make more. Thank you again for you comments.

I just started one of these also! I'm handpiecing mine so I have something to do while we are in the car going to Disney. I'll have to post pics of what I've got so far. It might turn out to be a wall hanging because it's taking so long. Mine are 1.5" wide LOL
