If anyone is joining along with Lynne of Lily's Quilts Hexalong then this stunner will make your eyes water and make you go weak at the knees.
This is a close up so you can get an idea of the size of the hexagons - possibly 1 inch width at widest
Unfortunately I don't have the name of person who made it, the details were not in the Festival of Quilts catalogue, but whoever they are they are a HUGE Green Day fan, this is their lead singer and it is an incredible likeness.
I feel like I spent the whole of Friday catching flies!!! The standard of work was absolutely amazing. At one point I overhead a conversation between two women about how they were starting to glaze over they had seen some many stunning quilts. I had to agree, it did kind of become an assault on the senses, but in a very positive way. So much to see/admire/drool over and most definitely not enough time. One day is just not enough, we had hardly any time to view the stands but I did manage to squeeze in a little shopping :-)
More on that later and some more pictures of stunning quilts. I've never driven 350 miles in 1 day before, never mind doing it again 2 days later, I'm feeling fairly exhausted today and I still have to organise the packing for going up north tomorrow. I'm looking forward to a restful holiday, with a little hexagon sewing coming along to join the fun.
An ending. A beginning.

Iwas there Friday! Sorry I missed you. I have a photo of that quilt too. It was awe inspiring - but I am never going to try anything like that. I would lose my mind doing such tiny hexies!
Glad you had such a great time! That drive must've been painful, so I'm really pleased for you that it was worth it!
Holy crap, totally did a double take at Billie Joe there! Have a nice time away - make Pedro drive!!
That quilt is unbelievable! I'm glad you enjoyed the festival and hope you have a restful next week :)
