I believe the quilt is called Insanity and I believe it has over 10,000 hexagons.There was another five rows of cream to be added as the final border.
It had taken her 10 years although there had been long periods where she had laid it aside. Now it doesn't match her bedroom and is to become a sofa quilt.
Did I mention it was half inch hexagons?
The last five borders will no longer be added although she will add either a row of cream hexagons, or appliqué the edges onto cream to finish it off and not loose the wonderful hexagon edge.
I didn't even get the ladies name, when talking quilts, names become irrelevant. She did take my blog address though and if you are reading thank you so much for letting me photograph and share your most beautiful quilt.
