A happy and hopeful hexagon quilt made by me, Michele Pacey. Started on May 19th, 2012, and fully and completely completed (full frontal here) on March 15th, 2013 … Yeah baby!
Happy World Wide Quilting Day to you, eh?

The journey of this quilt: here, here, here, here, here, here, and the completed quilt top here and here.

Wow. That is just about one of the prettiest quilts I've ever seen. One of my favorite antique methods is the Yo-Yo quilt, and this has that sort of merry color-frolic, but better, because the flatness of the hexagons let me see the bits of pattern better. Well done, girl.
Wow, handsome, handpicked and at hand! Love, love, love the border!
Wow! I know it's been said, but wow! After learning how labor intensive it is to just make the hexagons, never mind stitch them all together, I am more than impressed with this quilt. And hand quilted! Another wow!
Holy buckets woman, what a labor of love. Absolutely wonderful! You should be very proud. I know I am, and I don't even know you!
Happy weekend.

Holy Hot Tamales! That is amazing! I think I would retire the needles if I made something like that! Life's achievements: Done. You are so inspiring! Hope you had a glass of wine afterwards.
Love the first picture and the picture of it on the table they show off its bountiful colorfulness the best imho…but of course we do need to see the back of this most amazing effort.
Great work!!
That is really beautiful and I love how you did the back with the border of hexagons. Making an hexagon quilt by hand is on my bucket list, this is so inspiring. Oh, and i LOVE the name!!
Un trabajo magnifico.
Felicitaciones y saludos desde España.
It's a beauty!!
You are amazing! That is some real patience and dedication there. It came out perfectly! Great job
Wow!! It's amazing!! I love it!!
Sighhhhhh. I swoon.
So, so beautiful. You are my total hero, and probably the only person I know online who's actually finished a hex quilt. Hand-quilting it is a truly championship move. And that hexie edging is just perfect and gorgeous!
I am speechless. This is absolutely beautiful.
Be Proud
What an amazing finish to an amazing quilt! I love the chevron pattern you used for the quilting, and the hexagon border on the back is the perfect touch. Congratulations on a job well done! It really is done – doesn't that feel great?
It's fabulous, well done. I love the shape of the edge too.
You are a-maze-ing. What a lovely finish, too. I think the hexie edge was a perfect touch.
That is beautiful! You did a great job on it.
Holy Crap {pardon my language}!
THAT IS BEAUTIFULLY AMAZING!
Lady, you need to celebrate creating something that exquisite!

I am blown away. That is amazing. You are incredible.
I adore it. Well done! When will you make another one? 🙂
You are amazing! And a very patient woman! This is fantastic and will be treasured by your family for years. I love it! I cut a few hexs for a quilt, but haven't gotten to them yet! 🙂 Love this!
A timely finish! Congratulations – it's beautiful and amazing and inspiring!
Like everyone else was thinking WOW this looks great..
WOW! This is the most gorgeous and jaw dropping quilt I've ever seen!
It is amazing! You must be immensely happy!
Just beautiful!
Woo hoo! You're amazing. You should feel very accomplished.
Bask in how good you must be feeling right now!!! It has been a treat watching the progress over the past year … and now finally – the last stitch has been made!
I am completely impressed with your hand stitching – perfect! If my hand stitching through the quilt layers looks even half as good as yours – I would display the quilt from the back!!!!!
Congratulations! Well done you.
I've gotta HAND it to you! This quilt is hexalicious! (;
Oh and most likely you will hand-wash too, right? This is truly a great heirloom! I am curious to see what direction you will take with your next quilt when you come up for air.
Michele youve SO set the bar lass, this is remarkably fine! ……..
I love the edging idea and what a great quilting idea too. Ive got sketches of quilty ideas for mine ( which is on hold whilst I knit for baby at the moment) but its gonna be SO much less than yours LOL
Well done hunny………..you have every right to feel chuffed with yourself !
RESpect gal : )
UAU!!!!!!!!!! Ficou linda, linda, linda!!!!!!!!
Parabéns, parabéns, parabéns!
Um abraço!

I'm speechless, ditto to all the other comments. I'm not sure which impresses me more, the beauty of it or that you finished it in less than a year. I still have quilt blocks I made 20 years ago that have yet to make their way into a finished quilt!
– s t u n n i n g –
and i love the border around the back edge ♥
Wow! I can't believe you finished it! You're a stronger woman than I! Definitely worth all the effort though…it's beautiful! I love the border along the back…perfect!
Seriously stunning Michele!! Congratulations on finishing this beautiful work of art. Loving the way you did the edging.
Congratulatioins! Whole lot of work for a whole lot of cool quilt! What an accomplishment!
Bravo! This is truly a quilt to be proud of. You did it! And it's fantastic!
bellissima coperta , brava un bacio ciao.
This is so impressive and beautiful. The letter to your future self is so appropriate for everyone!! I am shocked the you did all ALL A-L-L of this by hand. Wow. So impressive.
ummm, amazing. Really incredible.
The quilt is beautiful. I love the play of colours. I am working on a hexagon quilt too and there are days when I dont seem to get time to work on it. I think I should follow your example and do a little bit every day! How did you do that hexagon border on the back? It is such a neat thing. You will be my inspiration now!
This is amazing. Well done!
