This massive hexagon quilt was done by three generations of women, all done by hand. Grandma started it, Mom took over after her death and when she got tired her daughter offered to help. The only obstacle I encountered was the different types of fabric used to make this. There is denim, upholstery, polycotton and occasionally good-quality cotton. Some of these stretched more than the others and I needed help to avoid puckering. Therefore, the choice of this quilting motif is to shove the fabric around so the puckers won’t be all that visible.
