Kites and Triangles and Half-Hexies, Oh my!

My grandma taught me how to quilt and I have tons of reasons to be grateful for that.   This year I wanted to make her a really special quilt for Christmas.  I picked out tons of fabrics I thought she would like, and an old-fashioned pattern that I knew she'd love.

For those who like tesselation, here's a satisfying picture of me cutting and marking millions of kite shapes.

SO MANY.

Eventually, I made the kites into these triangles.

And the triangles into these half hexies.

I arranged my half hexies into rows.

I pieced them all together.

I did a ton of free motion quiting, not all of which I'm 100% happy with, but I am pleased with the overall effect, so let's just never speak of it again.

Here's the finished quilt.

Merry Christmas, Moe! That's what I call my grandma. My brother made it up.
