Throwback Thursday ~ Dutch Hexies

It’s hard to believe I finally finished this! I hope you enjoy this look back. Have a great day!

After 20 years, this UFO is DONE! It seems quite fitting that this is my last finish for the decade!

You may remember that it looked totally different at the beginning of the year.

I was never happy with it, and I finally decided to take it apart and try again. Now it is finally done. It is handpieced, except for the borders, and machine quilted.

I purchased these fabrics in Amsterdam in 1999. I started piecing the flowers soon after.

I’m still not 100% happy, but I think my fear of ruining these special fabrics kept me paralyzed. Now I can enjoy them on a wall instead of in a box.

I’m not happy with my machine quilting in the hexies, but I love the border.

Finished is definitely better than perfect. Have a great day!
