Happy Hexagons

I love this quilt,  This is one of the first hexagon ones I have made.  The fabric is from the designed amy butler,  I just love that they don't match but they go together.  

  These are the first couple of rows.

I pieced the back because I thought it would be fun and all the colors seemed to go with the front of the quilt.  

 I added a white border to kind of unify the front with the little triangles.  I like the effect of the white border.

 This was my first experiment with quilting swirls.  I have to say it was challenging I don't know if it was the thread that I was using but I kept breaking needles much more often than usual.  It is a great overall look.

This one was sent to Heather (bankhead) Sudweeks and her husband.  I didn't get them a wedding gift so I thought a blanket would be our late gift.

funny side note.  I had a friend visit a few weeks ago and our kids were making a fort with some of the blankets in our living room.  She told me, "you have the most blankets of anyone I know"  I have always loved to cuddle up in a blanket and making quilts you have some that you want to hold on to or that were really an experiment so you don't really want to give them away to anyone.  Which is why even though I loved this one it needed to be sent to another home.
