I did the same thing with my Raggedy Ann Quilt. So glad I did it in my 30s. I'm 63 now and no way I'd start another stitched by hand Quilt. I had a x friend that offered me 100 dollars for that Quilt. I could have just slapped her. Over 2 years of sewing not to mention all the hunting I did looking for Raggedy Ann and Andy fabric. Sometimes making a theme Quilt it's harder to find fabric in the theme than making the quilt itself. I never sell my quilts they are always gifts for friends and family. But to offer someone only 100 dollars for 2 years of work I paid twice that for the fabric. I know you can understand the insult I felt over her offer. I may have just gave it to her if she hadn't upset me so much with that offer.
Yep. I’m hand making a quilt for my daughter for a wedding present. The quilt top came as a precut hexie quilt in random patterns and color schemes. That alone cost about $225 USD (cost included shipping) and I still had to buy backing, batting, and more notions (some of my needles ran away) so the total cost is about $300 and possibly more.
Came for the quilt progress, stayed for the moustache development ;) Another amazing quilt Dave! My hexie quilt is up to about 4 years and that's with 2.5" hexies and only single bed sized!! Astounded as ever by your skills and dedication
Dave, I love this amazing quilt. It is a masterpiece. I hope you are proud of it, I can tell it means an awful lot to you. How your back holds up, I have no idea because there is such physical effort putting it all together on the floor. It was lovely to see you and your mother working at the quilt together. A truly touching video tonight, I am in awe of you! ❤
I’m two years into my hexi quilt. I am in awe of your quilts. This one is a work of art! Travel, fabric from far away places, quarantine, exotic food, lunch box travel case, haunted apartment, dramatic music! This video has it all! I’m so inspired, I will finish my EPP quilt, I pledge to the completion of this Herculean task! Thank you Dave!
Loved this video. I'm doing a 1 inch hexy quilt as well. It's also going to be a very long term project. My travel kit is a 6 inch biscuit tin that has been with me on multiday hikes, bike rides and also comes to work. Thanks for showing us this lovely marathon project.
I started with my first ever sewing project in May 2020 during Covid. As a nurse, I felt it was good for my mental well being, coupled with the fact that we had strict lockdowns in Melbourne Australia. I had never sewn anything before. It was a queen sized reversible story/photo/memory quilt for my granddaughter in South Africa. I hand pieced all the irregular blocks and hand quilted the entire quilt. The centre piece was landscaped with wavy sections with a large tree and different scenarios and I put photos all over. Around this block were 20 photos starting from the scan to the caesarean section to the baptism and all the grandparents and great grandparents. I delivered it in 2022 and continued to sew as we were transiting through Croatia. I finally finished the quilt a month into my holiday. It took me two years. I am now making a quilt of all my son’s hoodies, also reversible. On the front is the history of his career and family, the backing consists of the hoodies. I am now busy exactly a year. I still have maybe two more months to go. Then I have two other quilts to make for my other children😅
Fantastic! This quilt is a masterpiece. I sincerely hope you winter it in a quilt show at some point. It’s like a visual diary of your life and travels during the time of Covid. I applaud your patience.
Oh no, Dave! What have you started? I picked up an old EPP hexie project (about 21 hexies) that I had left in obscurity for years. Now I have started it up again with fresh new fabric scraps and it is TOO ADDICTIVE!!❤❤😅😅😊
1. Hi Mom! 2. What an accomplishment and the memories! I have a Dresden that will be 100% by hand. I'm doing quilt as you go and im at the stage of hand quilting. It's an extra special quilt for me because I started in our RV to do while glamping, but later it became a project my sister and i worked on together. She has since passed, so it already means a lot. ❤ 3. You are funny as hell, no DRAMA over pre-washing! I love it! 😂
I give you much credit with sticking with the project. I made one totally by hand using diamond shape with no papers in my spare time . I hand quilted it in clam shell design. Won big ribbon at county fair.
this video was fun to watch. I also have made a never ending yo yo quilt. In a car, motels, visits to family etc. I enjoy hand work. instead of using the pre-cut hexies, I cut them by hand out of freezer paper, ironed it on fabric, then hand stitched the fabric over the edges. No, glue, butt someday I might try startch.
I do not English Paper Piece. But I have watched a few of your tutorials. This one came through my feed with my same 90's lunch box! I now have a better use for this oldie lunch box!
My first hand project also wound up being a king-sized EPP hexi quilt! I am not done quilting it (I used fleece for the back and it's too warm to have on my lap in the summer, so it's been put aside until fall!) but I'm already missing the first parts of the project and can't wait until I'm done with my first so I can start my second!
My grandmother made her quilts with "paper piecing" and did a lot of hand sewing them together. The one thing she didn't do was the quilting. She hired that iut with someone who had a longarm quilter. She made quilts for so many of her grandkids and as wedding gifts. I remember her making my uncle a diuble wedding ring for his wedding gift. Hmm. That was a long time ago. I wonder if my Aunt still has it. I wonder how many holes it has if any? My sister and i was made a "sunbonnet sue" quit. I have no idea whatsoever happened to those quilts. I was so little but i remember looking at each block with amazed wonder of how special that quilt was. Now is love to make my great grand daughter and son a quilt. Ive never made a quilt . As soon as i can deside what design and color scheme for them. I will. My sweet Frankie just started her preschool ❣️🥰🥰💖
What a wonderful quilt! Your travel & life documented in fabric! Loved seeing your mom working with you. I admire your dedication & commitment to handstitching the entire quilt!
I do not have the vocabulary for this EPIC quilt! DANG is just not gonna cut it. 😵💫 SEW. VERY. COOL!!!!!! I am a counter, if you ever have a few minutes to spare please update us with the number of hexies in that sucker! I have done 30 of 39 units needed for my own hexie EPP quilt, but there’s still a bunch to do after that. Started in Oct 21. Love the music, the stache, the stories/memories, and the quilt is AMAZING!💚💕👍🏼
I love your style- unapologetic, totally original, and FUN! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m watching RUclips because I need some inspiration to carry on with my first EPP project. Your project and video is epically inspiring.
m super mad and hella jealous, dave. I spent thirteen years traveling thge world and would only do knitting bc it was too much to carry quilting shit everywhere. Never thought to take on EPP in my travels. Love seeing you travel, its having an itchy feet effect on me. Rock on and keep quilting. I mostly sew quilts by hand, should have thought of this 15 years agio!
Your hexi quilt is stunning. Beautiful fabrics variety. You accomplished an incredible amount in just 2 years. Another masterpiece. Lovely to spot your mom helping. Such fun
I did a king-sized one in four months, working from morning until night each day. In the end it’s so beautiful. Glad someone knows what I went through.
Amazing, absolutely fantastic! This quilt, the effort, creativity and time you put into it screams Meisterstück! Thanks for the time and effort you put into filming of your video. I can see you 20 years from now admiring your quilt, thinking “ 36:19Wow, just look what I did!!”
Young man, this is a work of art. Well done, you shouldn’t be ‘shook ‘disheveled‘destroyed…….. you be ‘pleased and’proud as a peacock. It’s fantastic to see a Hexie Quilt actually FINISHED, and a King size, 100%hand pieced, hand stitched and HAND QUILTED. A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT. It has so many memories and you have stitched them all in. You have inspired me to get out my hexie box and find a few memories to stitch in place. I think I’ll have to divide mine into 4 different boxes, one for each grandchild. Then, after my days…… who knows if the quilts will be finished or in their boxes with Hexies ready to go. Then it will be up to them……. I’ll leave plenty of papers and material, needles and threads and a small ‘how to’. And love ❤from Nanny. Yes, thankyou for reminding me about my own Hexie box. Good luck for the future, love from Belfast NI.
Wow ! This is awesome! What a great quilt this will be! Really special you are picking up fabrics from your travels! You’ve inspired me! I love EPP! Stumbled onto your videos.
OMG What a wonderful quilt. Congrats on finishing it up and what an awesome story with all the traveling it did. I love it. I am currently working on a hexie quilt which I began a few yrs ago but put it down after my grandson's baseball season was over and then I didn't pick it back up until about a week ago. I want to do what you did...travel with it but I won't go to all the places you did. My next trip will be to Texas and then after that I will be going to Disney World in December. So I know I will be taking my kit with me. Thanks for the inspiration!
Had this video on in the background while I worked and man it just made the time fly. Really enjoying you and how real you are and frankly, we r alike in many ways, I'm just not brave enough to record myself. Thanks!!!
I love your quilt. you are so creative. I cancelled my glue order. I am going to sew by hand. I saw another person sew by hand. Then I saw someone who glued. I wondered about all that glue. That person suggested not putting the glue close to the edge. I love seeing your mom help.
My friend gave me a packet of paper hexis a couple years ago and I've been too chicken to start! I'm a flight attendant so this is a perfect way to kill time! I'm tackling my cabbage today! Thanks Dave!!❤
Awesome chronicle! (I think I want your job--so cool to go to so many places & develop so many great memories. Super jealous of getting to go to the different fabric stores, too!)
I like to use flannel sheets on the back of my quilts also. I have been working on a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt top (E.P.P.) for well over ten years. It is my "Hurry up and wait" quilt project. It is easy to take along with me, for those times when my short wait turns into over an hour wait at the doctor's office. I don't know if I will ever finish this quilt top; because, I have already used some of the flowers as appliques on a Double Wedding Rings quilt (in the center of the big vacant fields between the rings). Your quilt is beautiful and one of a kind,
It took 320 1” hexies to make my table runner. I’m not sure if I would live long enough to make a hexie king sized quilt. I’m thinking of making a few placemats with my leftover hexies and call it a day (really a year). I’m amazed you got this done along with all the other quilts you have made.
You are the king of quilts patience of aGod to do this by hand, especially the size of it love your journey on making this quilt the filming of. The places you have been love love love the outcome.of this quilt Keep doing the amazing work that you do. I love watching your episodes. this quilt will have great memories for you and in the-years to come. ❤
You absolutely are the most fascinating person. Your quilt journey is a joy to follow. I'd love to know what your career is. Your employers don't deserve you, that's what I do know! You are a genius.
I did my very first quilt ever as a hand stitched hexi 1" took me about the same amount of time. I started thinking it would be a couch quilt then a single, then a double and I just kept going. Sewed it all over Canada and Mexico. Not as wordly as yours!! Love it. It is my favourite of all and how I like to make them.
I have never quilted. Custom macrame and braid in rugs are my niche. Saw a YT on how to make a hexie from a 6” circle and thought, I can do that. Welp….its now almost twin size. It’s rough but hand sewn with love. Started cutting and adding my mother and grams old cross stitched pillow cases that were too aged and stained to put on bed. Then started adding mothers old handkerchiefs and grands clothing. Now I have no choice but to finish! No idea how to sandwich, baste, bind or quilt but will do by hand also. After watching your video, I now plan to add some of father’s old military patches (wwII) and my Girl Scout patches from the 60’s. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Absolutely MAGNIFICENT! Well done! What an amazing “story” piece of art💕. Love it! You are to be highly commended and congratulated! Thank you for sharing ☺️
Hey Dave! Glad I came across your video on hexies. I love hand sewing them. And I love your big Nexus quilt. I've wanted to make one for forever. Thanks for giving me some great ideas.
Magnificent! I usually speed up my video-watching, but for this one, I watched the reveal in slo-mo. I wanted to see every single section. Well done. Thank you for sharing all you do 💕
It really became an epic quilt and it looks awesome! I find it hard to visualize how I'm going to do things I've never done before, which is why most of my learning is done through videos. (It would be a lot easier if my brain chose the easiest route to the finish instead of over a quarry and down a rabbit hole, but alas 😅) Thanks for showing how I could travel with handsewing and work with a large quilting process. Hope you enjoy your quilt full of memories.
Ahahahahahah. I thought you spilt your coffee until I realized it was your pincushion! You and your mother inspired me to make one of my own! I found a really cool cactus for my creation! 🌵 Merry Christmas 🎄 Dave!
Awesome hand made quilt. Curious as to why you have to travel so much. Apparently you enjoy your work. If you haven't seen, The Last Homely house with Kate Jackson in England, you should check her out, on you tube. She made a 3 yearlong, EPP hexi quilt, by hand, for her granddaughter. It is made with a lot of Kaffe's fabrics. Interesting.
I enjoy making my own hexie templates. I trace one of the store-bought plastic ones onto thin cardboard from soda packaging, cereal boxes, etc. and cut them out. It’s amazing how much of that cardboard would go straight to trash (or recycle bin.) 🙂
Obsessed!! 😍 this is amazing Dave! Im currently trying to finish off an EPP quilt for my Mum 😮💨 its nearly done. Loved the travel videos in there too. Nippori Fabric town is on my list of must visit places!
Just loved this video! Hope some time you will share what your line of work is. Possibly the company or entity will not allow disclosure, however your job must be above average. Your mother and father are so proud, I am sure.

I feel this so much… most non-quilters just don’t get it 😖

There is no way words can express how much I am enjoying this video! Thank you for taking us around the world with you! The quilt is AMAZING!

I strip quilt by machine and EPP by hand. I don't put batting, but I use a flannel backing - no drama😂😂
I’m two years into my hexi quilt. I am in awe of your quilts. This one is a work of art! Travel, fabric from far away places, quarantine, exotic food, lunch box travel case, haunted apartment, dramatic music! This video has it all!

Having only recently watched the pincushion video, I laughed out loud at “PREMONITION”! 😂😂😂
Fantastic! This quilt is a masterpiece. I sincerely hope you winter it in a quilt show at some point. It’s like a visual diary of your life and travels during the time of Covid. I applaud your patience.
This has inspired me to get my hexi quilt done. I dug it out from under my bed.
🌎❤WOW Dave...You always amaze me!! Now you are a world traveler🌎YOU have inspired me to make one of these quilts now❣
that is an awesome "HandDaved" quilt!
Oh no, Dave! What have you started? I picked up an old EPP hexie project (about 21 hexies) that I had left in obscurity for years.
Now I have started it up again with fresh new fabric scraps and it is TOO ADDICTIVE!!❤❤😅😅😊
This is the most extraordinary quilt I have ever seen! Your persistence is mind blowing!

Your quilt is amazing!!! Also , u r my new favorite RUclips show. Binge watching
I have a 🎉couple accuquilt EPP hexie dies that I haven't used yet. Your videos are so enjoyable and inspirational to watch.
Young man, this is a work of art. Well done, you shouldn’t be ‘shook ‘disheveled‘destroyed…….. you be ‘pleased and’proud as a peacock. It’s fantastic to see a Hexie Quilt actually FINISHED, and a King size, 100%hand pieced, hand stitched and HAND QUILTED. A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT. It has so many memories and you have stitched them all in. You have inspired me to get out my hexie box and find a few memories to stitch in place. I think I’ll have to divide mine into 4 different boxes, one for each grandchild. Then, after my days…… who knows if the quilts will be finished or in their boxes with Hexies ready to go. Then it will be up to them……. I’ll leave plenty of papers and material, needles and threads and a small ‘how to’. And love ❤from Nanny. Yes, thankyou for reminding me about my own Hexie box. Good luck for the future, love from Belfast NI.
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈 I’m so impressed at that 2 year quilt project! And it has such meaning and memories. I almost cried! 😢
Just no words. Congratulations, Dave, and thank you for sharing this journey with us!
You are insane in the best way. The quilt is spectacular! Congratulations!
Wow ! This is awesome! What a great quilt this will be! Really special you are picking up fabrics from your travels! You’ve inspired me! I love EPP! Stumbled onto your videos.
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! Unbelievable Dave. You've outdone yourself.
OMG What a wonderful quilt. Congrats on finishing it up and what an awesome story with all the traveling it did. I love it. I am currently working on a hexie quilt which I began a few yrs ago but put it down after my grandson's baseball season was over and then I didn't pick it back up until about a week ago. I want to do what you did...travel with it but I won't go to all the places you did. My next trip will be to Texas and then after that I will be going to Disney World in December. So I know I will be taking my kit with me. Thanks for the inspiration!
Had this video on in the background while I worked and man it just made the time fly. Really enjoying you and how real you are and frankly, we r alike in many ways, I'm just not brave enough to record myself. Thanks!!!
Wauw, the quilt turned out gourgeous!
I love your quilt. you are so creative. I cancelled my glue order. I am going to sew by hand. I saw another person sew by hand. Then I saw someone who glued. I wondered about all that glue. That person suggested not putting the glue close to the edge. I love seeing your mom help.
Awesome quilt. Loved the John Lennon glasses. Thanks for sharing
Wow Dave! This quilt is spectacular. You are very creative.
I can see you when you’re like 80 looking for those 3 mustaches!…
Such fun memories!!….I love it!
🎉😊❤
A person could look at this for a long long time. Love it.
My friend gave me a packet of paper hexis a couple years ago and I've been too chicken to start!
I'm a flight attendant so this is a perfect way to kill time! I'm tackling my cabbage today! Thanks Dave!!❤
Bravo. Avec vous le patchwork est drôle, inventif, créatif et toujours étonnant ! Un vrai plaisir. Merci
Dave, You are amazing. Your quilt is gorgeous, beautiful, unique. I love all your videos. Your creativity is inspiring.
Amazing "chunks" in your scrappy hexie quilt. So great that you get to travel to so many interesting places for your work. Beautiful quilt Dave.👏♥️🇦🇺
Awesome chronicle! (I think I want your job--so cool to go to so many places & develop so many great memories. Super jealous of getting to go to the different fabric stores, too!)
This is absolutely beautiful. I just started a hexagon quilt- yours is an inspiration to me to finish mine.
I’m enjoying watching a few of your videos and you make it so interesting. Love this quilt also!
I'm interested in what kind of work you do that takes you all over the world.
Oh! Btw, vvv cool Dave’s Craft Room neon sign!😍👍🏼
For future travels there’s always pillow shams🥰 amazing work❣️❣️
Just luv it! Congratulations from Texas. Still working on mine, started when covid hit. FANTASTIC job. Such a memory quilt to be treasured.
I like to use flannel sheets on the back of my quilts also. I have been working on a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt top (E.P.P.) for well over ten years. It is my "Hurry up and wait" quilt project. It is easy to take along with me, for those times when my short wait turns into over an hour wait at the doctor's office. I don't know if I will ever finish this quilt top; because, I have already used some of the flowers as appliques on a Double Wedding Rings quilt (in the center of the big vacant fields between the rings).

Amazing quilt….I love it!
Wonderful keepsake for you to treasure of all your memories from around the world!

Beautiful work of art and love. ❤️
Congratulations, Dave! That quilt is definitely brag worthy!
Dejv, čestitam na upornosti, dve godine raditi i ne odustati i to ručno je veličanstveno, divan ste mlad čovek❤
I have never quilted. Custom macrame and braid in rugs are my niche. Saw a YT on how to make a hexie from a 6” circle and thought, I can do that. Welp….its now almost twin size. It’s rough but hand sewn with love. Started cutting and adding my mother and grams old cross stitched pillow cases that were too aged and stained to put on bed. Then started adding mothers old handkerchiefs and grands clothing. Now I have no choice but to finish! No idea how to sandwich, baste, bind or quilt but will do by hand also. After watching your video, I now plan to add some of father’s old military patches (wwII) and my Girl Scout patches from the 60’s. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Absolutely MAGNIFICENT! Well done! What an amazing “story” piece of art💕. Love it! You are to be highly commended and congratulated! Thank you for sharing ☺️
Wow the lunch box hexie kit is a great idea!❤ and your quilt is lovely. I'm beavering away on my own hexie quilt going on 2 years now.
Hey Dave! Glad I came across your video on hexies. I love hand sewing them. And I love your big Nexus quilt. I've wanted to make one for forever. Thanks for giving me some great ideas.
Magnificent! I usually speed up my video-watching, but for this one, I watched the reveal in slo-mo. I wanted to see every single section. Well done. Thank you for sharing all you do 💕
Bože dragi koji je ovo ogroman rad, veliko poštovanje ka vama Dejvid, fantastično, bravooooo❤
BRAVO!!! This was amazing to watch. What a huge achievement! Well done.
It really became an epic quilt and it looks awesome! I find it hard to visualize how I'm going to do things I've never done before, which is why most of my learning is done through videos. (It would be a lot easier if my brain chose the easiest route to the finish instead of over a quarry and down a rabbit hole, but alas 😅) Thanks for showing how I could travel with handsewing and work with a large quilting process. Hope you enjoy your quilt full of memories.
Ahahahahahah. I thought you spilt your coffee until I realized it was your pincushion! You and your mother inspired me to make one of my own! I found a really cool cactus for my creation! 🌵 Merry Christmas 🎄 Dave!
Loved this video and your quilt! So fun to watch Dave!
It’s so wonderful! ❤ you did a fantastic job
Awesome hand made quilt. Curious as to why you have to travel so much. Apparently you enjoy your work. If you haven't seen, The Last Homely house with Kate Jackson in England, you should check her out, on you tube. She made a 3 yearlong, EPP hexi quilt, by hand, for her granddaughter. It is made with a lot of Kaffe's fabrics. Interesting.
Years ago I did this as well. But I made it a duvet cover with a zipper and a pillow case. Keep inspiring.
Awesome!!!! Dave this is a piece of artwork, incredible.
LOVE! LOVE!! your channel!! You give me so much inspiration to just “Get it Done”.
I enjoy making my own hexie templates. I trace one of the store-bought plastic ones onto thin cardboard from soda packaging, cereal boxes, etc. and cut them out. It’s amazing how much of that cardboard would go straight to trash (or recycle bin.) 🙂
Obsessed!! 😍 this is amazing Dave! Im currently trying to finish off an EPP quilt for my Mum 😮💨 its nearly done. Loved the travel videos in there too. Nippori Fabric town is on my list of must visit places!
You inspire me, David! Stunning quilt!
Oh, come on, lets have some pre laundering drama.❤
Just loved this video! Hope some time you will share what your line of work is. Possibly the company or entity will not allow disclosure, however your job must be above average. Your mother and father are so proud, I am sure.
