This is my first and only (so far) Hexagon quilt. I started working on it, oh, probably 4 or more years ago. I recently finished it this past month. Now it needs quilting. I have ideas for the quilting and have even named it already -- Citrus Swirl. I love it and am now bitten by the hexagon bug. There will be more in my future, but I am resolved to only do one at a time to completion. Since the piecing is all by hand, it takes years (on and off) and I only want one hexie UFO at a time laying around. I love that they are portable and that I can work on it anywhere...
Citrus Swirl was a "fly by the seat of your pants" quilt top -- no idea of how it would end up. But I think it came out great. :o)
I have an idea swirling around in my head for my next hexie project and it starts with this...
which I designed in EQ7. I call it "Daisy Daze". I think I'll be adding a row or two of the red hexies to the top and bottom to give it a more finished look. Although I'm also toying with the idea of a row of single "daisies" at the top and bottom instead. We'll see when we get there. I haven't even started this one yet...
