GFG table topper top complete

I’ve had this done for a while but haven’t updated the blog.  The hand piecing went quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I think that means I’m up for hand piecing a whole quilt top of hexagons.

GFG table topper

I have this all basted and ready for hand quilting, and I have about 300 sets of fabric hexagons together for the quilt top.  I need to start basting them to the hexagon paper pieces.  I’m also experimenting with another (new-to-me) technique that would eliminate the basting-to-paper-pieces step and lets you hand piece the hexagons together without using a whip stitch.  If I’d known about it before I started cutting up my fabrics into squares for hexagons, I probably would have used it instead although I don’t mind using a whip stitch to sew the hexagons together.  It goes quickly for me.  I’ll post about my experiment with Inklingo in a few days — after I have a sample finished up so I can post a picture of it.  Oh, and it’s not that I don’t have other hexagon quilt ideas in my head that I could use this new technique on, you know?  LOL

Guess who thinks this project is his?  Yes, Mischievous Ludo.  He claimed it long before I had it finished.  I’m sure when it’s completely quilted and on the table, it will be a daily game to keep him off of it.
