I finished a couple of things recently so I decided to write a quick post and participate in the Link a Finish Friday and Richard & Tanya Quilts. I posted about this finish last Saturday but did not link up anywhere:
Tonight is the belated holiday party at work. This is my Secret Santa gift.
This week I also finished the quilt top for the Green and Hexy quilt:
The border fabric has inspired me to maybe quilt it with a loopy flower design. This fabric was also part of the bundle I won.
Backing fabric. I did not win the backing fabric. That would have been a huge win :) I picked most of it up on sale.
Leftover border fabric that will go on the back.
Owl fabric for the back.
Monkey fabric for the back.
I back piece large chunks of fabric usually, so these are a few that I had in my stash saving for the day I finished the Green and Hexy quilt. 320 hexagons later and many hours on NJ Transit and PATH trains, I finally have the top finished! Yay!
I'm linking up at Link a Finish Friday at Richard and Tanya Quilts.
Until next time,
Mike.
Many of my followers and quilting friends have told me that I need to change the name of my blog because I am not an amateur, but at heart, I always will be. I call myself an amateur to remind me that every stitch, every fabric shape and every seam is more perfect when it looks like it was made by a human being (especially if it’s me, and I am not perfect). This way I spend more time admiring my finished masterpieces and less time ripping out stitches. This is just a little bit of my journey...

Your hexis are looking great and I love the backing fabrics.
Wow on the hexi-sewing! Very nicely done! Also check out connecting threads.com for good quality fabrics for low prices. Also check fabric.com, when something is on sale it can get really great!
Wow - I love your hexi quilt. You have the funnest fabrics, too.
