I liked it - the Texas Wildflower right? I wasn't sure about my first one either, but when it was done it was OK. Not the best I've done but you shouldn't expect that from the first one, right? Finish it as soon as you're sorted out - it deserves to be finished. :-D

Oh, the top is finished. I just need to make/piece/choose a backing, then I'm going to send it to greenfairy.

This is a very easy block to make - only 5 seams in the end. They go together very quickly. I cut the strips, triangles and sewed half hex's together for a quilt top that was 40" X 56" in 4 hours! Use the miror, tip of mine, to help pick a good fabric print. Then stack to line up the prints, pin together, cut strips, triangles and sew. It's so fast, you'll be amazed! Reading Maxine Rosenthal's book "One Block Wonders" is almost a necessity to learn how to line up the repeats and pin properly.

This is any easy block to make. The print of the fabric does all the work for you. You'll be so surprised at what you get when that block is sewn together and how much it changes the look of the original fabric.

YES!!!! I agree with you entirely! And for me, this technique is the most fun to piece because of all the 'surprises' you get along the way. Also, with the hexagon version, because you're working with equilateral triangles, you can turn them 3 ways, giving you 3 often completely different options per block. I often squeal with delight while doing these at some of the effects that come up - don't worry, my family already KNOW that I'm nuts! :mrgreen:

This is not just a quilt: it is a work of art! Lovely. Absolutely gorgeous. I keep staring at it trying to figure out HOW you did that.

What a great job. It is stunning. I have her book and it is a project I want to try in the near future.
