Merry Go Round

I finally got some pictures of this quilt I made last spring called "Merry Go Round".  I tried putting in on the floor and standing on a chair, but I couldn't fit it all in. I guess I needed a ladder.  So, if you look carefully, you can see my husband's fingers holding it up for me.  I used a Jelly Roll (40 strips cut 2 1/2" x 44").  I sewed two strips together at a time, and then cut them with a 60 degree ruler. Then, I put six of these triangles together to form a hexagon.  I sewed the hexagons in rows and then the rows together to make the quilt. The hardest part was binding around the hexagons on the sides.
