Description:
Featuring 17, 802 hexagons, and taking 2 years and 9 months to complete, I Must Be Hexed was made using English Paper Piecing and freezer paper with most of the hexagons hand drawn using a template. So in Cheryl's own words, she made it the hard way. A very large quilt, Cheryl says that at the time the whole quilt had only been viewed once in its entirety when it was displayed at the Virginia Quilt Museum in 2013.
