I have finished the 5th row now on my Hexagon project – must say it is beginning to look fantastic, and even tho there are a huge amount of tiny little pieces that sometimes get tiring drawing and cutting out, every-time that I get a couple more on the top I get excited and think wow this is fun.
You really don't want to know the statistics about how many pieces - however here is the guess..... about 1148 hexagons, or about 6888 seams, or about 138,000 stitches... and that is without doing any quilting.

you are famous my dear!Great story, love the quilt those stats are giving me a headache:)
Yes, I have already read the article - well done - great pics! Do you realise we are the same age? I thought you would have been much younger!
Well done on your quilt - it looks fantastic and I totally admire that you are doing it all by hand.
Great article and the quilt is looking just gorgeous. Fab photo of you too - you young thing - well younger than me anyway! Here's to fame and quilting! Enjoy your break.
Congrats on the feature! How exciting! The quilt is amazing and beautiful, as always :)
Thanks to that story in Living Creatively I found you and your fabulous blog. You are now saved as a favourite!
I know how time consumin the haxagon quilts are - and I am in awe of this stunning quilt.
Gotta love a bloke who likes sew (and well too)!
Congratulations

Ok, now I think you've turned me off the hexagons. That's a lot of stitchery...
