A great big thank you to Joyce who patiently coached me on her mid-arm machine on a frame. I was a nervous driver, and I created many lumps, bumps and thread knots, but the overall effect is fine. I've trimmed the quilt, which is backed with quilting flannel and batted with bamboo, and I will bind it in the same black that's in the inner border. I took whatever hexagon halves were left and sewed them together according to value and colour and sort of floated them in the border with some neutrals. This is a lap sized quilt (about 54 by 60) made in the magic hexagons that someone on the web has organized a quilt-along for.

OK, a really pretty quilt!
Very cool that you got to try your hand on Joyce's machine! Certainly looks good in the photo -- I really like the way you did the borders.
How nice to have a friend like Joyce. You've done good.
Everybody has to quilt their first quilt and it looks like you are off to a good start.
It was a fun day and your quilt turned out very nice.
hurray for friends like Joyce..and good for you to try your hand at the machine quilting- great job.
It is a wonderful quilt. To know that you quilted it yourself makes it more special. I also like your border treatment. You did a great job.
