I stitched on this until about 10:40 last night and got it finished! The Hexagon QAYG 2021 quilt is officially finished!
I started this January 2021 and was working on making one per day last year. I added a few more to even it out to the size I wanted. Each piece was hand cut, hand pieced and hand quilted and then hand stitched together. 384 hexagons. Size is 68x88. See my tab above for the video that got me started on this project. It was a wonderful scrap buster for using up those cut offs from batting. I used warm and natural batting in all of the hexagons. It has the same feel and weight as a quilt with warm and natural batting. The cats have insisted that it is indeed perfectly snuggly.
The front.
The back.

I love it! after taking this along with you all year working on it in the car and at the horses etc - what will you decide to do now by hand I wonder!
What an accomplishment! You won't know what to do with yourself now that its done. It's lovely.
It turns out great! I would have stayed up late finishing it too.
Congrats! It looks amazing. I'm sure you have more than a few projects to take along to work on for hand work.
Congratulations, Deb. It is beautiful. I am sure there is a lot of memories tied up in this quilt. It has been a joy to watch your progress on it.

Wow - what a fabulous finish!
C'est Magnifique, mon amie;))) just beautiful work hugs, Julierose
A truly spectacular finish! Love the back!
I think you did really well to get this stitched and finished in just over a year. Congratulations, it looks lovely, and as you say, Dave the cats give it their seal or should that be purr of approval!
Oops, meant to say.... even the cats. Dont know how Dave jumped in there when I wasnt looking.
I love that you did it all by hand - it was fun seeing your hexies through the year! Great finish!!
Congrats on such a lovely finish. I love the back!
Your quilt looks so terrific! I watched the video link you included. What a very clever way to make this great hexie quilt. I love your quilt back too. I thought that was very interesting how many different ways the back can be made as interesting as the front.
