Wow is right! I love how you arranged the colors. It reminded me of the Olympic fabric.
This is so pretty too

I admire your patience, persistence and determination!!!! You have done a great job on this, Anna! I made a very small table runner for a very small table :) and outlined it in white with whole hexies and then trimmed half off to make even. Probably any light neutral color would work. Audition ones...you might be surprised with what you end up with. Way to go, Quilter!

Thanks so much! You are all too kind. All I can see in it at the moment are the mistakes... The hexagons that are in the wrong place etc. Oh well. :)
I think auditioning different fabrics is a great idea! I'm definatly going to have some hexagons on the back as well, I still cut hexagon shaped holes in all fabric I buy lol (boy will that be a hard habit to kick!). I've been home sick all week and so has my youngest and let's just say we don't have the same taste in what to watch on the telly = lot's of time to sew hexagon rows together... (Once my fingers stopped hurting from the first high fever.) So next time I go to the local fabric store I just might have an almost finished top to bring with me! Sadly she dosn't have much in the way of solids but I will get a good idea of colour anyway I think.
I ended up ordering some steel gray fabric and it arrived today! It was a shade darker than I had imagined but it will work just great. I have a LOT of leftover hexagons so I'm contemplating making a border using some of them. I'll see. :) Now for finishing the quilt I'm working on (a bubble quilt/playmat) and get basting gray!
Anna your quilt top looks great. I am still quite away from having my top done. But I am at the half way point I still need to make about 15 more flowers and then the cobblestones to connect the other half together. Looking forward to seeing your quilt when you are all done. Are you going to hand quilt?
It's unbelievable. Simply stunning. I agree with the gray. It will be a neutral to the colors and make them pop even more.
Thank you! :)
Yes! I actually brought it along to the local quilt shop last week to have her show me how to do it but she said it's just sewing and I will manage beautifully. Hm. I'm not so sure lol. I guess I will keep adding gray hexies until I'm ready! :DQuote:
