X-factor pillow swap: Hexalicious!

Another round of the X-Factor pillow swap has just finished. 
 This time the theme was "hexagons" so I decided to do a block using one of Kristy @ Quiet Play's fabulous patterns. 
This block is the "Stitch In Time" block from Kristy's "And Sew On" paper pieced series.
Can you see the tiny needle in there?
I did a some handstitched details and added a border using some lovely yarn dyed linen to make it into an 18"  pillow cover.  
 Some of the others in the group have already received their pillows but this one may take a little longer to get to its new home:)

    Fun idea :o) I have a fear with these kind of swaps that I'd get given a topic and then get instant brain freeze o.O

    How great to turn this into a pillow! I love the blocks in this series, but don't think I could make a full quilt out of them.

    This is such a fun pillow! I can see the needle- the must have taken a lot of attention to detail...
