The idea behind this particular quilt is that you use random pieces of fabric to make the hexagons, using a plain fabric for the backing, and then sew them together in rows however you perfer the fabrics to match up. How easy is that?
These are what I achieved in a few hours last night.
I've got quite a few more to go if I want to make a single bed size quilt for Hannah!! My main colour choices are pinks, purples and greens, and anything with spots or butterflies too, so I'll be keeping an eye out whenever I go near any fabric shops for suitable fabrics.
I can't believe its now August - and guess what that means for us Kiwi's - spring is now only four weeks away! yay! Thank goodness, this winter has certainly been the coldest and wettest I can remember for a very long time. I'll be so pleased when I can ditch the thermals, socks and winter boots!
Catch up again soon x

That's going to make a lovely quilt, fun pattern. Beautiful finishes in your earlier post too. I love the ladybug one and have it in my stash to do at some point.

That is going to look fantastic when it is finished. I love the hexagons. We are in peak summer at the mo...and have had nothing but rain and wind for the last 5 weeks. Miserable....four more weeks and we have the start of Autumn ;-(
What a fun idea and the the fabrics you chose are so pretty. You have a great start already. CJ ok;-)
