Just one more step…
My sister Nina was here yesterday, so we had to do some work!
I laid the top on the floor so she can see it.
This cat thinks it looks great …
… while this one is sleeping on this quilt – her favorite place!
We removed the paper templates.
4 hands filled this bag in about 2 hours.
I thought this is a boring and time consuming task but it really wasn’t. I love this step!
This is the tool I used to pull out the templates – it was soooo easy! And it doesn’t matter whether the paper template has hole in the center or not.
I hope to find some time to quilt it in the next 10 days.
Now I am busy fusing fabric to interfacing. And I am not making bags…

I use a paper punch to make holes in the center of my paper hexies and then I use the same tool to pop them out. I do reuse my papers and I also take them out as soon as one is surrounded. That helps the top from being so heavy as I am adding to it as well.
So I will never have to spend a long session removing them.
Any daunting task is always made better when we have someone to help us and offer conversation. It helps the time go by faster!
This is really gorgeous!!!!
How much time did you spend
to do it in total?
Best regards

Congratulations, Geta on this quilt it is colourful yet subdued. Well doneon all that work
Beautiful quilt. I love that you showed us all parts of making the quilt. I once posted a picture of the threads that come off of the fabric after washing and people didn't know why I was showing it. Thanks so much for sharing.
Beautiful hexagon quilt ~ that's a lot of pieces! Amazing how a cat can find it's way onto a quilt too ~ I laid one out the other morning and 2 of my cats were on it in no time!
How many pieces are there? Can't wait to see how you quilt it!
Oh, Geta! WOW, that's a LOT of paper templates! Good thing you worked together on it 🙂
It is amazing!
I don't mind this step either. I just discovered 4 little papers in my quilt that got missed! Enjoy the quilting.
what a fantastic hexagon quilt! It is truly beautiful. Even more special that your sisters worked on it with you. What an achievement.
