I’m so excited to be able to say that I’ve finished my hexagon quilt! In fact, I finished it several weeks ago and I can’t quite figure out why I never got around to posting photos of it. Regardless, here it is!
The first step was piecing the top. Then I sent it to my mom to quilt it. Then I had to sew all the binding along the edges.
Mr. T decided to “help”, which made the process cuddlier, but not any faster. It took several movies worth (how I measure units of time for hand-sewing) to make my way all along the edge to hand sew the binding down. It was helped by being sick a while ago which left me bored, stuck on the couch, and needed something mindless to do with my hands.
Here you see the backing fabric and an external point. I’m proud of these as they (almost) all came out sharp and looking quite good, if I do say so myself. The pattern included instructions on how to turn the corners to account for the fact that they are all NOT the normal 90 degree corners you find on a normal quilt.
I can’t decided how I like the quilt better, draped over the whole couch or folded in half on the back. I’ll probably switch it up (as I am wont to do), but right now I have it as visible as possible because I’m proud of me and want to be able to see it all!
