What better way to finish the year....
beginning with EPP hexie flowers back in 2013(?)
I toyed with the idea of joining them with more
hexies, but settled on appliquing them to low volume
backgrounds.

I also thought about machine quilting the completed
top, but again, changed my mind...

Quilted some straight lines on the machine
and then perle hand quilting around each one
I chose to keep it simple with the backing,

I chose to keep it simple with the backing,
piecing together some leftover vintage sheets I had
in my stash.
The finished size is 47" X 62"...
perfect napping size!
I had a fun time finding places to photograph it
earlier today!
earlier today!
It seemed appropriate to photograph the hexie
flowers...
flowers...
against a background of real flowers!
Or anywhere that made me smile!
I have called my last finish for 2015
"Kew Gardens".
