Finishing of the New Hexagon Quilt

I decided the layout of the quilt using triangles between each hexagon, then a border of plain hexagons around them. Still all hand sewn, I have finished that much.



As you can see it still does not fit my queen size bed, sigh. Now to add some borders, but that is an issue. Because it doesn't fit the bed, I got frustrated with it, and have packed it away until I can look at it with a new head.

As I was sewing the hexagons together, I decided I didn't want a square quilt, so I create an extra row for the bottom. Here are the hexagons I created, though some are very similar to ones in the book, They are my design work. 

I got a cardboard hexagon shape and drew on the design and used them as my template. they turned out a bit wonky as the cardboard card stock, while thin did not produce the same finished size, but it was a fun experiment.

no it doesn't look like the one in the pattern, but I didn't notice until I was looking for the photo of it. Its all sewn in and it will stay as is. (the little triangles should have been coming off the centre hexagon to create a star, this way it is the same design as Number 3)
