I am so happy with this quilt and with this method of making a hexagon quilt, I will definately be making more half hexagon quilts in the future.
I was suprised at how easy it was to sew the hexagons together. Initially I was rather worried that I would not be able to keep the pattern that I had put together on my design wall. However I found that following Comfortstitchings fabulous instructions and being a little methodical about it all, it was actually rather easy and very enjoyable!
Now I need to ponder how I'm going to quilt it. Possibly just an all over design like a stipple or loops or something easy. Hmmm, I will throw it over a lounge chair and contemplate it for a few days! Ruthdesigns has put up some good ideas for quilting a hexi quilt here, where you can also see some other lovely hexagon quilts starting to take shape.Til next time xo

I'm going to second that...utterly fantastic. And I LOVE how you photographed it. Looks like it should be in a book.
Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous !!
It turned out gorgeous, Cathy! I really love your color scheme and layout! So striking!
Beautiful! The first photo looks like it came from the pages of a Kaffe Fassett book.
I hadn't realized this really is *half* hexagons! Beautiful quilt and what a good way to put it together.
Looks wonderful. How big is it?
Gorgeous!!!! Thanks for sharing your progress with us.
Have a great day.
That is one beautiful quilt - thanks for sharing with us and the technique. Enjoy!
WOW.!! it looks Great..Love the Colours & Fabrics..
cheers
its absolutely fabulous and worthy of a book of your own...
i also was a bit intimidated by the sewing and after getting my second strip back to front somehow... no idea what i did ... i am loving the piecing now and was really pissed that my hubby went to bed and i couldn't keep sewing through the night to finish it off!
I think it would have been easier actually to take it off my design wall as aneela suggested and bag each strip...she has done a superb job with this quiltathon
Can't wait to see hoe you go about the quilting
I absolutely love it and the colors are fantastic!
Have you seen Kaffe's Country
Gardens quilt book? There is a picture of a quilt which really reminds me of yours! Same wonderful structure of hedging either side of the quilt - his is a spiderweb pattern, but still quite hexagon-y!
What a beautiful quilt. You've got me excited about making a half-hexagon quilt, but it's going to be awhile before I get around to it. Yours is truly gorgeous!
