Most of the points on the hexagon didn't meet due to combination of poorly cut pieces and shoddy workmanship. Because I wasn't consistent in pressing the seams in a particular direction (got confused after a while) it was difficult to get the fabric to lie flat. Though I find sewing (not cutting) therapeutic, my problem is that I can't wait to finish the piece and end up in this mess.
Also learnt that the choice of fabrics is important when doing this kind of quilt because the larger patterns don't look as good when they are chopped up like that. Because part of the pattern is hidden in the seam, it gives the hexagon a mis-matched look. Ah well, we live and learn.
Used Anna Marie Horner's Good Folks which I got on sale last year.
Now I am toying with the idea of adding a border and selected 2 potential fabrics to match. Haven't decided which but after looking at the pictures, they actually look quite good together. We'll see.
