HOORAY! YIPPEE! woW! Three-Year Finish !!!!

I can only imagine those comic book characters with those balloons over their heads, with words like "WOW",  "ZOWEE",  and "HOORAY"   .... 

My Great Hexagon Quilt top is finished...  finished, finished, finished!!!!

For any readers who haven't watched this grow... here is the short 'trip" 
(Pattern adapted from a late 19th c quilt, in the British Museum)
3/8 ich hexagons...
WHEN I STARTED, I WAS JUST GOING TO MAKE THE CENTER MEDALLION - THEN I WENT NUTS!

 

hmmm, how fun it was to draw it out with colored pencils...  just did the center.

so fun, so cute... little pebbles.

oh, fun, fun...

hmm - those green diamonds are really big, and now that I have put one on, I guess I have to put one on every corner, don't I?

oh I love this border... but it's going to be a long way around!

hmmm - I have to make this thing into a square at some point... 

AHA - a CORNER !!

so - can you guess how MANY hexagons????

Well - the name of the quilt will be:

fourteen thousand, six hundred and forty one

 

 

you ask - 'will I hand-quilt it?"

 

of course, because it simply requires it. 

 

I think it is like a good roast - it needs to 'rest' a bit first... me, too. 

 

Maybe I will sandwich it this weekend.
