Six inch hexies are all sewn together into a quilt top and I've started hand quilting. It's a rainbow of some of my favorite things.
Fairies, blueberries, snowflakes, butterflies, merry-go-rounds, unicorns, pansies...
I couldn't decide what to use for the backing. I wanted to use perle #8 in a variety of rainbow colors to do the quilting but didn't want it to look too strange on the back. This fabric is a rainbow of flowers and the quilting blends in nicely.
After a day in and out of the garden - weeding and picking strawberries, playing games with and chasing around grandkids and getting ready for a camping trip next weekend I'm ready to relax, sit with a glass of homemade raspberry/rhubarb wine and do some slow Sunday stitching on my Favorite Things before bed.

Oh what wonderful fabrics! Don't you just love the transformation when the hand quilting gets added!
It's beautiful, Cathy! I can't imagine how long it took you. I just finished up a two foot square with hexie and hand sewing. I worked on it a lot. Yours is soooo gorgeous!
That quilt is incredible...
I love the way the colors move throughout your quilt. It is darling!
I love this quilt! And it is giving you a chance to use all your colours of quilting thread in one project :) SO FUN!
