This is my Hexagon Horror
It's not a large quilt measuring only 41" x 37" and it had a few highs and lows in the making which you can read about with the following links:

I think my favourite bit of the whole process was choosing the fabrics and making the donuts. It was so satisfying to see the pile of them growing with just a little sewing in front of the TV each evening. We'll gloss over sewing the donuts together!!**, but I did like doing the borders. Another gloss over the quilting!!**, but of course doing the binding was great ....... a finish!

The name of your quilt made me smile! Not a horror at all, but a wonderful hexi quilt! Love your fussy-cuts.:)
ReplyDeleteSounds like this quilt did not take the easy path but it is finished now and looks wonderful. Great finish!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful...and you're not as late as i was joining the fun! I agree with you about borders 👎...They're fairly easy but I still hate doing them.
ReplyDeleteLove the name. I have horror stories too. Some of which sit in the closet sneering at me. So glad you finished this. It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI just had to stop by and find out why this quilt earned the name Hexagon Horror. Good on you for trying to machine piece them together. It looks lovely now it is finished. PS - the link to the final Hexagon Horror blog post above doesn't work, but I tracked it down and read it anyway.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting. I did get in a bit of a pickle with all those links - couldn't quite believe that I'd written so many posts about my "Horror"! Hopefully rectified now.
DeleteThanks for the links to the ongoing saga of this quilt. What a story!!
