Remember my mother’s hand-pieced hexagons? She’s finally decided how she’s going to join them, and has made a start.
I think that she’s chosen the perfect background print. She’s still hand-piecing these together. I’m not sure that I’ll ever have that patience!
My tiny contribution was rotary cutting the background triangles (with the help of some groovy quilting rulers that I bought from Material Obsession last year). Now I mostly just gaze at these hexagons and ooh and aah. I’m super impressed, Mum!
And you know what – Mum has no scraps left over from this project. She’s used everything. So completely the opposite to my stash and my scrap bin!
That’s beautiful – looks like sooo much work has gone into it.

I woulda love to be able to do this. Your Mums quilt is stunning. I have done the crochet blanket in the past
Go your mum! I can’t believe there are no scraps!
Wow, Lara – it’s gorgeous. So much work. Such patience!
Your Mum has done a Beautiful Job on her Hexies…the fabrics go so well together…
Well Done Mum.
Cheers
wow! Beautiful!
The colours in this are divine, so soft and yesteryear. I once hand pieced an entire quilt for my mother. I must take a photo, it autumn leaves, she adores it. While hand piecing may seen like a horrendous pain, if you just do a seam or two a night you end up with a quilt in no time, and I’m sure you will agree they are so wonderfully soft compared to a machine stitched quilt – and the corners etc always match perfectly. Gotta love that!
Your mom has done such an impressive job on this quilt, simply wonderful.
Tell your mum, that from one hexagon addict to another, I absolutely love this!! It’s just fantastic. Thank you for sharing it!
