Bloggers Quilt Festival

Thanks Amy once again for hosting the Bloggers Quilt Festival.
(such a fun idea, and a great place for inspiration)
I am thrilled to be apart of it.
I have participated in the past Quilt Festivals,
 but this time I hadnt finished a quilt that I loved since the last festival.
(just enough motivation to finish an "in process project")
So I got to work....
I pieced the top of this quilt last summer. And it has been waiting since then to be quilted.
This is the first time I had ever pieced hexagons (lots of seams).
The pattern is Wee Spin by American Jane.
It definitely isnt perfect, but I love it any way.
I love this quilt because I love the American Jane Fabrics.
This quilt took a lot of time...
The pattern probably has been the most time intensive that I have done.
Simple, but lots of work.
You can read more about the quilt here.
Thanks for visiting!
Finish size is 56 X 78    hexagons; 8" X 7"   inside hexagons; 4" X 3.75"

    I love the look of this quilt. How large are the hexagons in the centre of each block?

    This is absolutely gorgeous. The colors are so vibrant and I love how the two sides have the hexagon shape.

    Love the quilt and the pattern- thanks for sharing your wonderful quilt.
    I have made a pattern called Paperweight by Aardvark patterns from Kansas. It was quite the quilt to make but well worth the effort.
    Your fabrics are very funky and fun.
    Hope you have a chance to visit some of the other quilts in the festival. There are some really gorgeous ones.
    Regards,
    Anna

    Gorgeous, love the hexagons and all the yummy fabric. I have an American Jane quilt kit my SIL bought me last year that has 60 degree triangle cuts that I have yet to start. Your quilt's story reminds me to get it out and get going on it! Thank you for sharing :)
