For many months, years even, I've had this little package of hexagons (a honeycomb precut) sitting in my sewing room. The fabric is "Wishes" by Sweetwater. I have not done much with hexagons in the past and was intimidated to sew them together. But when I saw this tutorial for an adorable quilt at A Bright Corner, I decided to give it a whirl. Andy's tutorial uses yardage, rather than precuts, but I was able to skip all the cutting and just whip this up.
I did find that I didn't have quite enough bright fabrics in the "honeycomb" to make 9 blocks. So I improvised and made one block with a colored background so I could use the light colored fabrics too. I don't LOVE it that way, but it did make a square quilt! :) That center background is actually not quite as bold in person, I think.
I had some soft, green flannel -- barely enough -- for the backing. I think it looks pretty good!
