Hexagon Quilt Progress

I have been working on a hexagon quilt inspired by this quilt in the Nebraska State Historical Site .




I began making the hexies in Oct 2010, so two years now. I work on it mostly on the go- when I'm riding the car, or waiting at the doctor's office or on my lunch hour. 



A few more than half of the blocks have been put together for a queen sized quilt. I figured out I need 31 stars, 76 circles and 18 little 3 and 4 patches for the sides.


The original quilt is a top only and doesn't appear to be finished or maybe it has deteriorated around the edges. In order to have a straight top and botton edge, I plan on filling them in with 3 patches.


 Here are a few sewn together...



If anyone is working on or has finished a hexagon quilt, I'd love to see. Or if anyone has any idea on how to finish the edges, I'd love to hear about it

Thanks for visiting!

    So beautiful. I love hexies, and have done lots of them, different sizes. I can show you how I did the edges, if you like. Greetings from Norway.

    I agree with Judy - what a fabulous hexie quilt that is going to be. And good for you that you are almost done with it. You've given me hope with mine that is also being made a little here a little there. Gorgeous!
