I started this quilt top in the fall of 2015.  In my first post describing this project on November 5, 2015, I had already completed 15 “diamonds”.  In that post, I had hopes of using only “stash” fabric. Little did I know at the time, I would have to make a few trips to the store to buy more fabric.  Mainly because I realized my “stash” fabric was all pretty similar and lacked variety.

This is some fabric I bought in the summer of 2016 to make more hexagons.

I am getting close to having the top finished!  So Excited!!  I will have to sew a few more white sashing hexies to fill in the edges, but after that this top will be DONE!  This has been a slow but satisfying process.  

This quilt will be entirely hand sewn and hand quilted! 

I have yet to purchase the backing fabric for this quilt. I am considering a light to medium grey. When it comes time to actually quilt this thing, I am still throwing around some ideas. I think I want to use a DMC Pearl Cotton for a thicker quilting line. I want all that hard work to be seen! I’m not sure on the color yet. I’m definitely not sure on the quilting pattern. I don’t know if I want to just do outline stitching of the “diamonds” or maybe a flower or feather design that fills in the “diamond” shape. Ugh. Too many options! But, I have a little time to figure it out.

In the meantime, Happy Quilting! -Alison
