my finished hexagon quilt

I had finished the last step of my grandmother's garden quilt a few weeks ago, just as we were finishing our holiday. Then I folded it up and politely tucked it away in a corner without showing anyone my accomplishment.

Today, I was meeting fabric friends for coffee and I with a tinge of pride, I brought it along to show off. As it happens, we were at the perfect venue for finished project photos.




It's even been properly inspected by a wee tot. Yes. It's done.
Dare I tell you what I want to hand piece next?

  18. I've been working on hexs for a while. Might be a quilt for a grandchild someday if I keep plugging away. I completely adore the back of your quilt. The front is lovely too, but the back just blows me away.

  19. This is amazing...and I agree, the back is the icing on the cake! I haven't tried one yet, but would love to give it a go...I actually enjoy hand stitching.

  20. It's truly gorgeous! I love the way you've finished the back and left the edges in their hexagon shape! Now I finally know how to finish mine (not that it will ever be finished - only been sewing it since I was 5!!)

  21. Amy, the quilt is incredible! You've done a beautiful job and I just adore the colour selection. The reverse looks almost as good. Was so lovely to meet you at Brown Owls last Sun. Seems we have a lot to chat about...

  22. This is so beautiful. Love this pattern, and the fabrics are one of my all time favorites. I have no idea how you made that lovely, lovely edge, but it is fantastic!
    Now, I need to get on with sandwiching my own hexagon quilt top...

  29. Amy, this is fantastic. I remember you working on this at Bondi markets over 1 1/2 years ago. I loved it then with just a few finished flowers. This looks amazing and you should be so happy with it!

  30. I love it! I am currently working on a hexagon quilt myself (first time). I'd like to know how you went about finishing the quilt with that lovely border in the back. Your quilt is stunning!
