Dear Chantell,
My beautiful hexagon quilt is finished!
I love-love-love this quilt! I am surprised that this quilt turned out
to be pretty heavy, too.
The home dec fabric is the culprit because this time I used a thin,
lightweight poly batting (Thermore),which worked perfectly with
the hexagon design.
I love home dec fabric because of all the beautiful designs and colors
but it is not ideal for quilting, that's for sure!
I mean, it can be done, but be prepared for a workout at the machine!
I bound this quilt with the feature fabric for my bedroom, and I think
it gives a nice weight and good stability to the edge of the quilt.
This is when the weight of a home dec fabric is nice except for having
to hand stitch through the thickness when doing the outside binding.
