Having tried patchwork a good few years ago and failing miserably, as I am not any good with a sewing machine (haven't got one now anyway), I started making a quilt about six months ago. I am hand piecing it, the colours are quite bold with the centre hexagon of each coloured section being a white and silver hexagon. The surround to each coloured piece again is white, but with narrow coloured lines going through. Should be about another 18 months and it will be finished (I hope).
