So I know it’s autumn and a liiiitttle bit late but believe it or not I did actually finish this project months ago. The first batch of photos I took I was not happy with and it’s taken until now to redo and edit them, silly really as I was so proud to have finished my second ever quilt I should have shared sooner! I’m not very good at photographing quilts and I’m not sure I have done it justice.
Too many photos? They are not the best I know but it gives you a idea of the finished project, I’m just sorry it took so long, being poorly has meant I’ve got a bit behind with things like that. I have another quilt to photograph to show you!
I loved this project so much! And it made me fall back in love with hexies and quilting. As I started a bit late with this stitch along I didn’t have the time to plan my fabrics but it actually all worked out ok. I used some fabrics from my stash but I did find myself making a few purchases to get it just right. The bee fabric wasn’t planned I was at my local fabric shop looking for a fabric to finish it and there it was, it was like it was meant to bee… (sorry!) Of course it had to be polka dot binding, and as it was a spring project it had to be yellow.
If you fancy giving it a go yourself, it is still available to purchase and download here.
This was a big project, and you should be so proud! It looks amazing, and I’m so glad that you stitched along with us!

Gorgeous quilt! It’s so cute and cheery and the bee fabric finishes it off perfectly. You’ve done a lovely job of photographing it too. I really like the yellow polka dot binding. I’ve never used it on a quilt before (mostly because I’m not sure how to do the corners neatly!) so I tend to do bigger borders.
