Hexagon QAYG

 So, I saw this Video from MSQC and thought it looked really good. SO I ordered the templates and I just took time to give it a little test run.

You use the templates to cut the large background hexagon and the smaller front side, as well as a piece of batting. Then you press the edges up, folding them twice along each edge.

I used a few leftover 10" squares from the Geo Pop layer cake and some scraps of white low volume for the backing. You can see on the back that I flipped up in this picture how the hexagons are all sewn together with a decorative or zig zag stitch.
This little table runner took me most of an afternoon-like 5 hours or so.
SO, I'm not sure about doing a whole quilt.  The runner is pretty cute, but each hexagon take a little bit of fussing and so that takes time. I'll think about it.

DONE!

 Way back in September, I finished and sandwiched this, 54-40 or Fight Freestyle-from the Missouri Star Quilt Company, quilt. I started to quilt it on my faithful Bernina machine, but alas...a sad moment when Bernie came to a jarring, grinding halt. I folded the quilt up and went machine shopping. That's another Post though.....
 And here we go! I finished this big beautiful quilt!
 I pinned it up in the tree in the backyard, as the dogs tried to sleep on a corner of it.....go play you guys!
I love how it finished!
 Hubs and DD both disagree-they like matchy-matchy.
 But I love the scrappy variety of color this time. It looks so complicated, but was pretty easy to make! I might even make another one...another time!
 And Bob approves of the back too! I LOVE that backing fabric-I got it over at Helio's in Mt Vernon, Iowa. It was on sale of course! Love that store!
I'm just so glad to get it finished-I really don't like having unfinished projects around-crafty guilt!
And I donated the barn quilt to the church bazaar and they got $100 for it! WOW! Now I feel better about that. I really liked it a lot, I'm glad someone else did too!
