If you're coming over from gen X quilters today- hi! I looove that blog - Annemarie is so awesome! I just got my fat quarters in the mail from the Kona Your World swap and love them. I can't imagine how much work that was, so thanks, Annemarie!In other news, I have 16 and 2 half days of school left (SCORE!)
.... & I finally finished Noah's quilt!
It's a modified Hexigon park, the sashing is Kona white, the back is brown minky (drool...) and I bound it (binded it?) with Robert Kauffman's quilter's linen in chocolate.I quilted it 1/4" inside each white sashing strip and through each hexigon which made an awesome argyle-ish effect (which is super cute on the back). The finished quilt is about 50" x 60"- perfect for Noah to sleep with or for me to steal and snuggle with on the couch.
Just sayin'....
mmm... chocolate (Homer Simpson voice)
early morning pictures before school = akward shadows, sorry.
It also equals running out the door as soon as you upload the pics, so I didn't get a pic of my favorite part- the label on the back! It's a hexigon and I did a smidgen of hand stitching around the edges with embroidery floss. (I'll have Joe email me a pic to upload!)
ta-daaaa! Here's the label and a peek at the snuggly back.
So what do you think?

That is one super cute quilt! I love it!
Well I think, I wish I had one. Love it! Great job!
Love that quilt! Fell in love with M&W the first time I saw those prints! Haven't had success in locating the yard goods around here but did manage a package of charms. Love that pattern, also. Congrats on a wonderful cozy quilt;-D
Glad you like your FQs! Thanks for sharing about yourself for FF and great hexagons quilt!
Cute! I am seriously thinking about a hexagon quilt next. They are so dang cute!
LOVE LOVE LOVE! I really like that fabric line, and have been trying to think of a pattern that would work well with it, and this looks great!!!
Saw you over on QuiltStory. This is the cutest quilt, pefect for a little boy. :)
I love the large hexagons, they really allow you to see the adorable fabrics! Great job Mom!
Here from Fabric Tuesday--this is a gorgeous quilt! :)
I would definitely recommend this pattern for a not-too-intimidating hexagon quilt. They are pieced half hexagons, so you don't have the awkwardness of weird seams!
I just love your quilt! It's beautiful, has wonderful funny fabrics and the hexacon pattern is so great!
