43x60
My 6 inch hexagon quilt is finished
It is completely hand pieced and quilted. No machines were involved.
Paper pieced and then hand quilted with perle #8 in a rainbow of different colors.
It's a rainbow of my favorite things.
I started in the middle with black - the absence of color and some crayons, then a mix of colors in some of my favorite things - buttons, ice cream, cupcakes, butterflies, candy...
Red is for valentines, strawberries, zinnias, roses, cherries, tulips, tomatoes, candy canes...
Orange is for pumpkins, peaches, oranges, carrots, daffodils...
Green is for christmas cookies, kiwi, broccoli, peas Irish, basil, pears...
Blue is for blueberries, butterflies, merry-go-rounds, unicorns, iris, fairies, aprons, hoarfrost...
Purple is for pansies, plums, clematis, fairies, grapes, hydrangeas...
I'm glad I'm finished with this. I've been working on it off and on for a very long time so it feels very good to be able to cross another UFO off the list.
Since I have a finish I'm linking up to Finish it Up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts. And, since I really think I deserve a Whoop, Whoop I'm also linking up at Confessions of a Fabric Addict. And, I'm also off to give a Weekend Update at Block Lotto.

This quilt is too much fun. I love how bright it is and all the fussy cutting. Good job.
