I finally started the layout of this quilt. I think I ended up with 13 fabrics. They are all Kaffe collective (Kaffe, Philip and Brandon). I had to cut a bunch more 4.5" x 8.5" rectangles yesterday and added one fabric to my original group. Then I had to cut the 4.5" squares to fill in the top and bottom.
Last night I got the first six columns sewn together. There are 7 left to sew and this should come out about 52" x 72". It has 2 borders in the magazine so I'll consider that too. I used some of the same fabrics as the one in the magazine and added some of my favorites to the group. One of them may be the outer border. I went back and edited yesterday's post with the size and number of half hexagons used. I try to remember to do that when I'm writing the post but sometimes forget.
What a bright, happy quilt that is! Just the right thing on this snowy day in the Northeast... Glad your birthday was full of favorite people and activities.
