I finally completed my hexagon patchwork quilt top!
Started in August 2010. 1541 hexagons (and 36 half hexagons). Estimate about 180 hours of sewing. Eek.
The next question is: to border or not to border???

Something to be very proud of (though in a tastefully modest way of course. 😉 Well don!
Always tastefully modest here, of course 😉

Wow! That’s amazing!! 🙂
Thank you! Glad you like it 🙂
Fab-U-Lous ?! Re border, that depends on what size you need the quilt to be for what you want to use it for. I added plain white to mine to bring it up to size and to have a strong fabric edge to the hand sewing. That said, I love the hexagons going right to the edge. Lovely.
Thank you! I can see the benefits of border or no border, but hexagons to the edge might make it a bit more tricky to finish & bind. I’ll leave it a while and think about it a bit more 🙂
Oh a gorgeous work of love. A quilt to be cherished.
Thank you!
WOW!!! 180 hours! GORGEOUS and a work of art! Congratulations on getting it finished!
Thanks Laurie! It is a lot of hours, but thankfully not all at once 😉
Gorgeous. I think a border would just bring it all together.
Thanks! You could be right – I had thought maybe red for a border if I have one, to bring out the red central rosette, but I’m not sure.
That sounds spot on!
Beautiful!
To Border, definitely… Very special…
Great achievement. It’s beautiful!
wow!
