It looks great! Love the piano key border! Did you end up handsewing the piano keys?
Jan-22
Partially. I marked at the short end where the hexie needed to stop. I machine sewed the long straight seam up to that mark. This gave me a set of piano keys with an opening on one end. In that open seam, I wrapped the fabric around the hexies so I could hand sew them to the contrast border hexies.
There are a few misplaced fabrics but that's OK. I think I'm happy with the final result even though the execution didn't turn out what the vision was.

A show??? Honestly, there's nothing special about this top. No, wait... I'll admit that *is* exceptionally flat and square!

wow...
really like how it turned out.
And the backside is very interesting! Have you pulled the papers out yet?
Agree it should be in a show.

Suze (casuzenn) said:And the backside is very interesting! Have you pulled the papers out yet?
Yup, all the papers are out. I regularly remove the papers once a hexie has been completely surrounded. This allows me to re-use the template AND easier handling of the top.

How nice that you have sewing groups to help you baste. There are no sewing groups anywhere near me so I muddle through on my own. I have a big kitchen table I use because there is no way I can get down on the floor and crawl around! I like your set up with the pvc pipes to raise your table. I'm only 5 ' so I have no problems with having to lean over too much.

Wow! There are just no words--so incredible! Once quilted, what are your plans for this beauty? I can send you my address if you need it.

No plans. This was just a busy work project.
But, as to when it will get quilted? Haven't a clue.
