Day 233: The Kittygons quilt is almost done! All that remains is the outer row of partial hexagons along one edge and a few on the side I'm currently stitching. The back side shows the stitching best. Each dark green center has a "daisy" in the middle, and hidden in the hexagons somewhere, there is also a bee (not shown in the image). I like hiding surprises in my quilts! There were a few issues along the way with this one, notably that my sewing machine began acting up when I was about halfway done with the piecing (now fixed), so some of the seams weren't stitched firmly. As I've quilted each hexagon, I've fixed the loose bits by hand. Note that this was made as a machine-sewn quilt top, then batted and backed with muslin before I put it on the quilting frame (as opposed to "quilt-as-you-go" where each block or piece is made and finished individually). Merry has already decided it's his.
