Oh my word! This is such an accomplishment and such a beautiful finish. I love hexies and IF I’d ever make one, I’d love to do Grandmothers Garden with the old lot green path through it. I don’t know the name of the shade green but I want to make it like an old quilt. IF I ever make one. Perseverance, on something I may get tired of doing, is something I may lack. Also, when I start something I want to stick with it to the finish which wouldn’t be easy with a hexagon quilt. I may never make one-lol
Yours is delightful, with so many bright and different colors. A beauty for sure. I too am curious about the size of your hexies and your finish size. Congratulations on your finish!

How big is this? I hope a good size for display, not just on a bed or folded as it deserves to be admired.
Great job!

Its pretty good sized. I kind of got carried away and it finished at about 56" x 60"

I started a Tula Nova in late March. Oh. My. Goodness.... It might end up a cushion rather than a quilt! I don't dislike doing it, but chosing the fabrics for each unit is challenging. I should have done as you did, and done a simple, randomly colored EPP project first.

Until I saw the enlarged border, I was going to ask if you'd appliqued it onto a background. That's a great finish, and makes the colors really pop.

I have done another EPP project. I finished the top for the Smitten quilt by Jen Kingwell and will get it quilted at some point (hopefully). lol. I did mine pretty scrappy. Right now, I'm working on a heart project. Its going to be a jacket. I'm slowly getting there. I'll post pics when I finish.

I'm glad you finished it! I enjoyed seeing it and it inspires me to start working on hexies too. I have the paper pieces, but need to finish a couple of my unfinished quilts first.
