I found a few minutes to sew in the afternoon between lunch out with family and pizza brought to my house last night. The top is finished and now I see 2 of the same fabric just one half hexagon apart but it is going to stay there. (bottom center one row up from the bottom) It ended up 58" x 80" and has 208 half hexagons in it.
Now I can start putting the rectangles of the Kaffe collective up on the design wall and then determine which fabrics to cut more of.

I love this. Such a "mish-mash", but it all works together; as in plays together nicely. Once again "Happy Birthday"
Glad you enjoyed your birthday celebration. I am inspired by your blog and seeing what you are working on. Hope this is just the beginning of a great year.
The top turned out beautiful! I recognize some of those fabrics as I had them in my stash too.
Happy belated Birthday! I am one of your early bird readers and didn't see your daughter's post until this morning. Enjoy starting my day with you each morning. Thank you for your inspiring posts.
Another belated but very sincere Happy Birthday, Wanda! I too read your blog too early to catch Vicki’s post. Wanda, you have been an inspiration to me ever since I first saw your quilts hanging at QBU! I check in every morning for a little dose of color and pattern. And I certainly miss our Art Quilters workshops! Here’s to many, many more creative, colorful years!

Isn't it the Amish who include a deliberate mistake in their quilts because "only God can achieve perfection"? Love the whole piece!!!
It is beautiful - happy birthday,too. You are such a treasure.
Wishing you a belated Happy Birthday Wanda. I did not see your daughter's message until today, since you ended up in my Spam file on Wednesday. I don't know what's going on, but so often mail winds up there, when it shouldn't. You're starting to catch up to me now, lol. Lots of hugs and best wishes for a healthy 79th. year of your life.
I just wanted to let you know I am a big fan of your blog, and your work. I wish I still lived in the Chicago area so I could take one of your classes.
Happy Birthday!
A belated "happy Birthday" to you Wanda. Wishing you all good things!
Happy, Happy Birthday!!! I know it’s a day late but I’m hoping you enjoyed it and were surrounded by love and family ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Belated Birthday Wanda. I, like most of your followers I'm sure, am very busy but I can't wait to get your daily blog! You are quite an inspiration to me. In fact I say to myself... "I want to be like Wanda". Thank you for bringing me a little colorful joy each day. Happy quilting, Happy gardening and Happy Birthday.

Lunch out and pizza for dinner with a little stitching in between...sounds like a pretty nice way to spend a birthday!
Happy Birthday, Wanda !!!
Belated happy birthday! I just saw the surprise post this morning. I so enjoy your blog. Your two same fabrics made me laugh- I did a charm quilt of Tumblers, unfurled it before quilting friends at a retreat to help hunt for any prints that were the same. Almost right away someone spotted matching Tumblers. AND they were cut from the most noticeable fabrics in the quilt- chili peppers on a bright background! I left them, too, as a humorous reminder.
I check your blog every morning. Thank you so very much for the inspiration. Happy Birthday! Enjoy and be healthy in the year to come! Edith
This colorful honeycomb of hexagons is stunning.... If you hadn't seen it and told us about it, I bet no one would have ever spotted it. I must admit it was fun looking for it.

I love looking at the art work in each individual piece. Love these fabrics. Sounds like you had a great Birthday.

First of all, love this hexie quilt :)
I was touched by the sweet thing your daughter did . . . all those birthday wishes, it just shows how much we love you and your charming blog.
Again, Happy Birthday.

What a lovely surprise, a very Happy Birthday Wanda!
I missed your birthday announcement yesterday, too, and I am so happy that you had a wonderful day of celebration and recognition. My 73rd was 3 weeks ago! It doesn't seem possible, but I guess it is.
I'm loving your African fabric riot of color and I look forward to your new projects every time one seems to be wrapping up.
Take care,

I had to really look to see the double. Glad you decided to leave it.
Sorry I missed your birthday. So glad you had a good day and were treated well. You deserve it! What a blessing you are to me and to so many others. Hugs and lots of late birthday love to you!
Belated Happy Birthday, Wanda! Thank you for sharing so much with us every day! I have learned so much....keep inspiring us!
Happy belated birthday!!
Meeting you in person and hearing you present a trunk show are on my bucket list!!! I start every day with Wanda!!!
