Hexagon Quilt

This is one of the first from-a-book-pattern quilts I have made. It is the "Hexagon Hip Hop" from "Layer Cake, Jelly Roll and Charm Quilts" by Pam & Nicky Lintott. The pattern itself is easy to follow, concise, and has good explanations and photos. My favourite thing about this pattern was the miniscule amount of waste, due to the recommended cutting layouts.

Materials:
quilting cotton
self-made quilting cotton binding
fashion cotton batik for backing

I used freehand stippling to quilt this piece.

What I learned from doing this quilt: Hexagons are easy! 
My favourite part of this quilt: The binding. I enjoy how bright the white fabric looks against the colours.
