Hexies BUSTED!

Did you hear the fireworks go off  around 8p.m. last night?...That was about the time that I  put the final stitch into my oldest UFO!  

This hexie baby quilt has been sitting around in a plastic tote since 2008/09! 

 It was TIME!  The borders needed to be added ...the fabric was thankfully in the tote!  But I couldn't find the backing fabric that I bought YEARS ago (probably used up in another project!) so I went to the local Quilt Shop and found the perfect turquoise flannel to give this quilt a pop of colour. a bit of life and some warmth and softness!

Do you remember these fabrics?  Shangri-la by 3 Sisters.... plus fabrics from my stash.

                                    
All of the hexies were hand pieced and hand appliqued...the hard work had been done!  What was I waiting for?
 And even though she's old....she's still sweet and fresh and will keep any baby nice and toasty....and I love the vintage-y feel of this quilt!

Perfect for a baby girl to drag around, don't you think?  

It is such a wonderful feeling to cross this one off my list!!  YIPPEE!!  I am on a UFO roll!  Good thing because I got a million of  'em!  Stay tuned for more UFO busting!

Have a magical Monday and Happy Stitching!~P

    Another gorgeous finish. Perhaps this will the perfect baby quilt that you've been looking for for the coming new addition to your family. Still haven't finished any of my UFOs, but at least I've taken some of them out of the drawers they were stashed in.

    Took the words right out of my mouth - you ARE on a roll! Wonderful finish and you're so right about a little girl loving it. That backing looks like it was made for it (actually, now it has been!).

    Great work, nothing more satisfying then finishing a quilt that was nearly done! Love the colours and hopefully so will one of your daughters.

    Gosh, Paulette, those hexies must have been TINY! I did not think this was a baby quilt. You definitely did a lot of work, and the fabrics are so pretty, so this is a super finish! How many UFOs are done now? You will be all caught up soon. :D
