Thanks
for all of your nice comments about my last post. I’m feeling much better about it all. I think that I just needed to get it off my chest and now I’m going to not to let it get to me. I think that Jacquie put it best… I’m going to try to “blog without obligation.”
Plus I had a nice full day of sewing yesterday! I made major progress on the hexagons. It’s been so long since I’ve made a queen sized quilt that I’d forgotten how much longer it takes to get a big top finished up.
You know what I need? A much bigger design wall. But not having one has forced sorting out some organization systems or else I loose track of all the hexagons!
Just have to sew the columns together and add a white border to either side, trim the top & bottom and it will be done! It’s nice and big. It will be 91″ x 93″ once I add the borders.
Maybe it’s time to start pulling fabrics for the next quilt…

Love the fussy cut Fresh deers! and really glad you’re feeling better
lovely! can’t wait to see it quilted…i really like all the fabrics!
Love it! Love the Red Letter Day. Very fresh with all that white.
Another beautiful one, my dear! Love the hexagons on white…
it’s looking fabulous! i also love the paint by number deer – so fun!
It looks amazing – and I can’t wait to see it all done!! And I can’t wait to see the people you cast for the new Project Runway
It looks beautiful!! I’m still mustering up the strength for my next queen quilt… in the meantime I’m going to stick with baby quilts lol
Its turning out beautifully – design wall or no.
VERY pretty! Love it!
I use my new fence as design wall when the weather is good. I just tack a sheet to it or hang it over the top. Not sure what I’ll do when the snow comes…
Well done Alissa, your half hex quilt top looks beautiful and like Ashley…I really love the inclusion of paint by number deer!
Love love love the paint by number deer! So great!
I think this might be one of my favorites…ever
I think I say that with each one you make, but it’s always true 
I haven’t tried a hexagon one yet…I imagine it would take me awhile. And I like to finish quick so I can get to the give-it-away part.
this quilt looks great! i know what you mean about bigger quilts taking more time. i’ve made a lot of twin size quilts this year…and it’s amazing how 3 extra inches on one side and an extra 12″ on the bottom makes it take that much longer to finish. i need to get into a baby quilt groove. badly.
It’s fantastic – I’ve never made a hexagon quilt but I think you’ve inspired me to try. Did you use a particular pattern for making them?
yes it takes a while.. but it’ll be so worth it! as for the design wall i know what you mean… mine is 5×5 and often i keep making things that extend past it!
pretty, pretty pretty! i’m going to concentrate on a few bed sized quilts in the next month. you’re right…take a lot longer, but they’re so great to have.
This quilt is scrumptious–really makes me want to try the hexagon pattern.
Thanks for your inspiration!
