They drove down have been working like crazy on their little house and yards, I already miss her terribly. They just decided that life isn't all about work & money and keeping up with the Joneses wanted a more simple lifestyle. I thnk they will still have to come back to Canada every 6 months til they decide if this is what they want forever. Kind of semi-retired and still in their 40's.

Fabulous quilt!!! :D
Are they hard to make???

Actually, they are pretty easy, and lots of fun. They do take a little time, because you end up with a lot of blocks of different colors, and you just keep moving them around until you come up with a design that you love! Give it a try! :thumbup:

k3n - Do you have a pic of your original fabric from your lovely Avatar quilt? Or did you use more than one fabric? I always admire your quilt whenever I see a post from you! Just love the colors!!

How do you put the hexagons together?
I went crazzzzzzyyy trying to do the jigsaw it became.
How do you square off the edges?
Yours is so pretty and I really could use your help! Thanks in any case.
