I had stitched more than 1600 small hexagons to make this – I LOVE IT!!! It was worth every stabbed finger and the RSI in my thumb.

People think I’m crazy doing hand piecing but I enjoy the process. It slows down my progress and gives me more time to enjoy the quilt as it evolves.

I had this one professionally quilted by Peppermint Patch Quilts (Tracey Petersen). She did an amazing job. Will post a photo of the finished quilt when I get the binding on.

Have started another one in pink half hexagons that I will probably quilt by hand. Having been scouring fabric shops and eBay for bits of pink, and accepting kind donations from friends.
