Festival of Hexagons

I heard there was a really fun linky party to show off hexagon quilty projects, so I had to put my name in the hat!  Many of you have seen this quilt a few times, so bear with me!

I started this quilt in 2010 to have something to do during vacation.  I had an idea of how I wanted it to look, and only used scraps from my stash.  I used 1" hexagons.

Slowly but surely, the quilt top came together.  I sewed mostly during nap times.  I wish I kept track of the hours!  About 7 months later, I had a finished quilt top!  The picture below was taken somewhere around Christmas 2010

The handquilting started in February 2011.  I borrowed a hinterburg frame and worked on it turing TV time.

 

After many more months, I finally finished the quilt in March 2012! I loved the process so much, I started another on last July! 

 

Here is a full view.  This quilt is bed sized, about a full.  Working with stash made the quilt inexpensive.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my hexie quilt!  Check out the Festival of Hexagons for more fun!
