I started this quilt about three years ago. Hexagons where in and I jumped on the band wagon. The pattern for this quilt was different than anything I had ever done at the time. It was a pretty technical way of doing and it stretched my ability back then.
The quilt was made of some of my favorite fat quarters. I wasn't able to find a dark gray cotton print so I ended up using a corduroy. I love the texture that it gives the quilt.
For the back I used minki. But sadly my quilter didn't realize that the minki wasn't double sided and she put the wrong side out. At first I was devastated, but I am over it and still love the quilt.
For some reason I didn't make my white boarder long enough on one side before sending it to get quilted. So to fix it I added a label. This is one of my first labels! (I really need to label my quilts more often!)
Since this quilt took so long to finish, the fabrics I used where gone so there where not matching colors to bind it in. I choose a colorful striped print and love love love it!
