Featured Quilt - Hexies Everywhere You Look

We started to count the number of hexagons in this quilt, and then we gave up and decided to just enjoy its beauty. Kado, by Carmen Maria Cambronero of Canabria, Spain, is a lovely hexagon quilt that was on exhibit in the Small Wall Quilts - Stationary Machine Quilted category at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah 2024. Carmen's quilt consists of innumerable hexies all created using English Paper Piecing and hand piecing. Don't bother counting, just take a look.
