The "finish a quilt" crusade continues. These pictures are of the latest unfinished project that is now finished. I can't even remember how many years ago I started this one. Something like six or seven it seems like. All hexagons as you can see and I sewed them all together by hand. The purple flowers are sort of like fabric origami. There are some in the book that are way more complicated than these but at the moment I'm too afraid to try them. I was going to sew the buttons on by machine, but decided that if I'd pieced it by hand, quilted it by hand, hemed it by hand, sewed the flowers on by hand, that I might as well sew the buttons on by hand, so, it is all sewed by hand. I know, I'm crazy. And I really do love the contrast between the teal greens and the purples. In general I like green and purple so this was right up my alley. I've got plenty of other projects to finish, including a Hawaiian quilt about a yard square that I'd started quilting but haven't finished. I think, though, that I want something different to work on to finish before I finish that one. We'll see.
