Rows and rows of half hexagons.
Because I opted to paper piece the half hexagons, the blocks are too heavy to place up on the design wall.
The floor of our dining room has become the "layout" space.
Mr. Cactus is being patient with the step over and around mess.
In between work, church and family commitments, it may take another week to get all the rows completed and sewn together.
This has been such a wonderful pattern to use up scraps of green from my stash baskets.
Eventually, all of the centers will filled in with an appliqued circle.
Festive Cheers was designed by Victoria Findley (Bumble Beans) and the pattern can be found in the Quilt Almanac 2012 Edition

Nedra, you must be very pleased with it. I just love the color in this quilt. Enjoy piecing the rows - hugs Nat
I think husbands of quilters are used to stepping around quilts on floors! Mine has to do that frequently - he will come in the door glance at the floor take off his shoes and sometimes not walk around it but right over it! (if it takes up the whole floor)Carefully though :)

Hi Nedra - Our local JoAnn's was just remodeled and they got a whole bunch of new quilt books that I was looking at yesterday. There was one by Fons and Porter that had this same pattern in it and it really caught my eye - so needless to saw I really like yours! Now comes the dreaded part of removing all the papers, huh? Good luck!
