Patches of Destruxion

 Hello everybody! I have decided to finish up one of my long-term WIPs. Moving house has made me look at and sort through everything I have on the go and it means I am itching to finish up some stuff (as well as start another 50,000 things, but I am resisting for now). So I pulled this quilt top out of my pile. I made this quilt several years ago, intending it as a cot quilt for my second son (who is now 10 years old, and way too big for a cot). It was the first big EPP project I did, I designed it myself and I mostly basted the hexies and stitched it together on my train commutes to work in 2017 (see these old IG posts from the time here and here ).
