Woven Hexagons is finished. This quilt is the final product of the sewing project I had to start in Ashland OR, when I inadvertently left my sewing basket at home when I left on vacation almost two years ago.

Woven Hexagons, 2016
It was difficult finding a background for all these great blocks, and I was surprised that this really bold-printed pattern on black was the one that finally did the trick.
Frankly, working with this entire color palette put me way out of my comfort zone, so I am pleased that it is finished and that I like it so much.
Woven Hexagons, Detail
The quilting is very simple; it is hard to see as it is, so just enough quilting to hold it all together, including the fun circles in the middle of each block.
it’s a challenge to make a quilt using only fabric from one designer or fabric line without the final project being uninteresting, so using only Marcia Derse fabrics for this one posed some problems. In the end, I hope it hasn’t turned out too boring.
