Today is the first day of the Be a Hexie Queen Blog Hop; a big, huge “thank you” to Madame Samm and Debby, who are hosting this fun event. I am very happy to be part of it.
The hexagon virus affects more and more quilters and I am one of them. So here are my hexagon projects I made (or finished) especially for this blog hop.
First, my hexy cubes are finally quilted!
Could you see the cubes ? The quilt is made out of about 500 hexagons.
Each cube has feathers quilted in 3 different directions, to help the 3D view.
This block is so versatile; rotate it 180 degrees and you a have a completely new look. Could you see the difference ?
The next project – some of you assumed it is a quilt. I am sorry if I disappoint you, it’s only a bag. A very large bag (a travel bag) I made for our next trip to Paris (less than 3 weeks until then, yes!).
I am in love with this bag; I think it is the most beautiful bag I made to date. It’s made with pieces from a Fossil Fern charm pack and 1” hexagons.
The quilted back…
The gusset – quilted as well.
The zippered closure.
And the third project – a zippered pouch made with my Twice As Nice pattern
There is a secret zippered pocket inside, completely stitched into the lining of the exterior pouch,so that it divides the lining space into three separated compartments.
I wanted to see how the feathers look like quilted on squares (or read, I did not have time for other hexagons!). Hmm!!
I still have to sew a matching, small, shoulder bag!
Thank you for your visit; please visit the other participants. I am anxious to see their hexagon projects.
Absolutely wonderful all your hexagon projects!
I am in love with your hexi travel bag!
I really love your hexie bag, just wonderful!
Gorgeous and inspiring, Geta. I'm loving your new bag – it's a beauty. You are a Hexie Queen!
Wow, the versatile hexie!! What great projects…very inspiring, I especially love your travel bag!!
Lovely! I love your bag, I must make one. LOL Thanks for sharing your wonderful projects with us.
Great project. Love your quilting.
Amazing. Those cubes are fantastic. 500 hexies….Sjeeeeez! You are right to talk about a virus…. I think my throat is starting to tingle seeing all those projects. I will have to try this too……It does look great, though! The bag is incredible. I love it. I also love the matching little bags, so cute. You did great!
Stunning!
Thanks for sharing Geta!
Amazing. I am speechless but I know that you are a hexie queen. Thanks for sharing your beautiful projects.
Your quilting is just amazing on such small pieces! Love the bag.
Wow! That quilt is stunning and your bags are amazing. Wonderful work!
I love your Hexie bag. So cute. Thanks for sharing
Well, as we Americans say, you "knocked it out of the ball park"!!! What breathtaking projects! But I already knew you would stun us with all this hexie beauty. Now I want to make a Fossil Fern hexie bag. I am never disappointed seeing your creativity. Today has to be one of the hightlights. Oh, well. They ALL are hightlights and the hexie world is a better place because of you. Hold onto that purse in Paris. A designer is going to want to grab it and clone it for the next runway show to make him famous.
Just gorgeous – I'm speechless. Thanks for sharing.
The most beautiful hexie things I have ever seen. The cubes quilt, the bag, the pouch. Congratulations Geta!
Wow, wow and wow again! Your projects are all gorgeous, but that bag is especially delicious!
It is a gorgeous bag Geta!!! I could see the cubes….and the colors are fantastic
Fantastic is the only word I can come up with and it just does not mean what I really want to say. The quilt is incredible and I am severly drooling over your bag…excuse me while I reach for kleenex.

Trying to pick a favorite of your projects is like trying to pick a favorite child ~ impossible! Your work is exquisite. Rcoyle at olemiss dot edu
Your work is beautiful! Love all your projects.
Hmmm…it's hard to pick but I think I like your travel bag the best – the colors are so rich. And no matter the shape, I like the feather quilting. Will need to keep that in mind for my next project…
Your work NEVER disappoints. Love the bags!
Hi Geta,
I really love the way you use the shading and quilting to give your blocks depth. And how the quilting
helps make the hexies on the purse look like flowers. I so enjoy your posts to see what mischief you've been up to with your hexie making. Have fun in Paris! Can't wait to see pictures from that trip.
Your hexies are positively wonderful! Love everything you have done. The bag is so wonderful.
Love those bags. Very useful.
Beautiful work! I love, love, love the bag.
I love the quilt, but you are right, the bag is THE BEST!!! I would love to take a trip with it, too!

Just amazing all of the work you have done! Not only the piecing, the quilting is beautiful. I have to go back and look at it all again, great job!
Your cube hexie quilt is beautiful. I see cubes, I see hexies. The feather quilting in all the projects is fantastic! I love that bag and zippered pouch! Thanks for participating and inspiring us today!

The large travel bag is very nice, but most of all I like the feathers you quilted in each of the hexies, I have never seen this and think it makes the bag lovelier.
Awesome, awesome, awesome projects! 500 hexies in the first one? Amazing. The quilting is also terrific.
OMG….I love your bag! Beautiful quilting, beautiful fabrics!
You have absolutely wonderful hexagon projects! Your hexy cubes are just lovely. I saw your friendship quilt shortly after you and your friends finished it and it is AMAZING! All those little pieces would drive me crazy. I think your scrappy background was just perfect! It's hard to believe just how much fabric went into! The quilting is so beautiful.
Geta, congratulations on being Hexie Queen today. Well deserved. Your quilting is amazing. Your designs and choice of colours are wonderful.
Geta you have outdone yourself again! Love all the projects but the travel bag is the best! Just awesome hexies, colors, quilting and pattern. Love it! Thank you for sharing !
I love your quilt & hexie bag! Thanks

Wow Geta, YOU are THE hexie QUEEN ! Your crown should be diamonds in the shape of hexie's ! Beautiful work !
You are absolutely the "Queen" when it comes to hexies. Outstanding projects. Think your travel bag is the ultimate. I would love to travel with it! Your stitching is just wonderful.
Congrats on being a top 2 finisher today. Your projects are phenomenal. The tumbler hexies are great. Personally, I can see them easier in one of the pictures than the other (when they are 180 degrees rotated). The quilting's great and enhances the blocks beautifully. The bags are wonderful. The larger bag is going to have everyone in Paris drooling. The smaller bag (Twice as Nice) is great, too. You did a wonderful job. Thanks for participating and inspiring me and making me drool.
Wow! You are so talented!
I love everything, especially your travel bag! It is just the greatest and Congratulations on being a queen bee!
Love your projects!!!! The quilting really sets everything off!!!!!
I love that bag!! I agree with you, it is the prettiest you have made. Can I be your sister???
All your projects are so beautiful…

WOW! What other words can I use. These are fabulous!
Wowie, Geta! and I had wondered what you would do to top that lovely piece you had done for HO HO HO. I don't know which is prettier, the bag or the quilt. Your quilting is just amazing too. I hope this got selected in the top two!
Your hexies are gorgeous and the quilting looks fabulous in them. I love the hexie bag.
What beautiful workmanship. Your projects are stellar. Thanks so much for sharing.
I absolutely love your work. The colouration and feathers on the hexies give your travel bag and pouches incredible depth and definition. They look like real flowers! Did I say I love your work?
