I cut lots more half hexagons from my African fabrics with my die cutter and finished designing it late yesterday afternoon. This quilt is just a joyous riot of colors with all of the different fabrics. I think I cut about 15 more fabrics (several pieces of each) so there are about 74 different fabrics.
This is the small amount of pieces leftover.
The 6 columns on the left are sewn together. I stacked the rest of the rows after I took this photo and pinned them back on the wall in order.
A stunning "honey comb" of Afican fabrics. Selecting fabrics, cutting, designing, removing from design board, stitching, pressing ~ whew ! A lot of hours of work that goes into every one of your creations. And this piece seems to show all those hours.
What size half Jeri did is this and what size will the top measure to? I'm thinking about making one once I get the die. But I want it to be a large lap size. Thanks for all you do and the ideas you provide. Jeri Oldtisme@aol.com

That looks like a great stash buster! I go back and forth on whether to purchase a die cutter.
