Eight years ago a friend gifted a selection of fat quarters for my birthday. I wanted to incorporate them all in one quilt, so I started a hand sewing project. I had a pack of eppiflex templates, the designer pack where you made your own hexagons by combining the shapes. This became my back up, hand project which was pulled out of the cupboard when I needed some hand sewing at sit and sew sessions. I must admit I lost interest many times and it sat hidden for long periods.
The finished size was determined by how many hexagons I could make from the fat quarters.
Here is the finished quilt and after such a long time it feels like a great accomplishment, plus it will always remind me of the dear friend who gifted the fabrics. Hence it is called ‘Friendship’.
