I have always, always, always wanted to make a hexagon quilt. I think they are so beautiful! The epitome of a vintage quilt to me...
However, I never thought that I would actually ever get around to making one. It's all the hand stitching... I just don't think that I'm cut out for it. But now my dreams of making a hexagon quilt can become a reality and I'm thrilled! I found a wonderful little online tutorial from Lady Harvatine on how to make a machine sewn hexagon quilt.
So yes, I'm excited! I'm thinking of doing a yellow and white one, sporadic, no flower patterns or anything like that... something to fold up and put on the foot of our guest bed. I'll let you now how it goes!
