I like the looks of this quilt and the thought that you could make a fake hexie is rather interesting. In this busy world, maybe more people would quilt if there were "sneaky" ways to do so as shown in this example! I too like that the charm packs were used, it makes picking out fabric a no-brainer, again adding to the ease of the project. Good job on the tutorial too, easy to follow instructions!

I love the fake hexie idea because as an English Paper Piecer I know the real deal takes a long time to complete. This quilt is very pretty and I love the idea of using a pack of charm squares to make it. Most especially because charm packs come beautifully coordinated for us! I noticed in the photo, the maker did not square the top or bottom of the quilt. I'm wondering if anyone might know the reason. Would I just cut straight across with a rotary cutter?

If you go to the tutorial, the quilter explains how to finish the quilt and says to cut it square before adding batting and backing. I kind of like the edge as is though!
