    Very nice job! How did you sew that together? The stitches look perfect. It looks like it would be verrrry time consuming.
    I hope you are soon feeling better.

    Thank you for all the kind words for recovery :-). This quilt started as a scrap user to learn the technique & just kept growing. Yesterday I started the hexis for the first border frame...it consists of only 206 hexis :-)

    Gorgeous - I have one I've been working on for more than 10 years! I appreciate your dedication! Do you plan to hand quilt this? If so, may I make a little suggestion - to trim the seam allowances to a scant 1/4 inch so you have less to quilt through. Hope this is a help. :thumbup: :thumbup: :lol:
