Well, ha-cha-cha!   I have finished my current Forever Project, which is the EPP top with 4 hexies sewn into a "diamond" shape.   The size of the top is 86"x94", which is the width of a queen but the length of a double .. so take your pick. :-)

Here's a close-up of the corner and border detail.  I made shaped piano keys to fit into the white contrast border.  I initiallly thought it was going to be a quick and easy border and the top/bottom sides were.   But the sides were a minor PITA.  Once I resigned myself to taking more time than I had anticipated, it went smoothly enough.

And then, I took a picture from the backside of the top.    No one is gonna ever see this but I thought it looked neat. :-)

what an amazing accomplishment!  Any thoughts on quilting?  This one really should be in a show, my dear!

I'm dazzled speechless! 

It looks great!  Love the piano key border!  Did you end up handsewing the piano keys?

Wow that looks amazing!!!!

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.

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.
