This has been my point of focus for the last two days. I am quilting straight lines to quilt my Half Hexagon Quilt, but also outlining some of the hexagons, which does involve a lot of moving the quilt from side to side whilst under the machine. Sigh ...
I do hope to finish the quilting today.
Be sure to look at the other wonderful Half Hexagon Quilts on the Flickr Quilt-Along Group. There are some very creative quilters out there. The color and layout variations are truly inspiring.
That is going to be a gorgeous quilt - can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt...beautfiul!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed...this looks really beautiful...Tam xo
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for putting the link to the flickr group (I've just started subscribing to your blog) I was wondering how you did that quilt. It looks amazing, but much more painless than the papar piecing method I started with years and years ago! I love the business of your quiilt. So sort of retro. If you know what I mean!
ReplyDeleteI always love your quilts and you have almost made me want to do a hex quilt... almost lol
ReplyDeleteGosh that is beautiful! I have been wanting to make one of these. I follow your blog, but didn't realize there was a half hex q.a. ): Nice job! (: izazbz at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt!
ReplyDeleteAnd all you others, of course;D
er! Now I remember - bad memory lapses due to birthing 3 children who at ages 5-9 refuse to give me back that part of my brain they took the days they were born. I found your original post about it too late though.
ReplyDeleteMaybe another time b/c those cute little people under 4 ft tall are wearing me out on purpose dragging me to the beach, library, lake, park, lunch, park, store, pool, beach... Lucky they are so darn cute and so much fun and make me laugh more than my sewing machine (:
Gorgeous !!! I love it...
ReplyDeleteit looks so great, I love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteIt's all looking so so very fantastically good!! Can't wait to see a pic of the finished quilt!
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right it is so good to see the variation of the quilts in the flickr group!
Hi there, I have nominated you for an award!
ReplyDeleteYou have the patience of a saint for that kind of quilting! But I'm sure it will be worth it - the quilt is gorgeous so far - can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it all quilted...you work is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors !!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous seeing all these hexagonal quilts from the quilt along. I really wanted to participate but am too busy at the moment. They are great! I love the easy solution to sewing hexagons. I don't believe that I would have thought of it on my own!
ReplyDeletethe more you show this quilt the more i want it... and the more i need to start mine!
ReplyDeleteAre you doing this by eye alone or is there a guide you use to quilt such straight lines? Great job!!
ReplyDeletei know all about quilting taking way too long!!! :) i have a quilt i am so anxious to finish...and it's taking for.ever. but it will be worth it when it's done. your half hex quilt is just gorgeous.
