This quilt has been on my to-do list since last May when my baby graduated from kindergarten.
I've been crushing on hexies for a while, so hexies it is!
I saw this tutorial a while ago HERE.
The original tutorial calls for 1.5" strips and I used 3.5" strips.
I also didn't want to trim the side hexies.
I mixed a bit of cream and taupe for the neutral.
The design took me a minute to sort out.
The majority of the fabric is from "Secret Garden" by Sandi Henderson
Because of how wide I cut the strips I couldn't get quite enough equilateral triangles to make solid rings and centers like in the tutorial.
I like how the scrappy version turned out.
I am going to use this same pattern for my sisters baby quilt next month.
I will try a narrower strip... either 2.5" or 3"
For the quilting I did a wave pattern.
I used the yummy cuddle minky again.
No batting.
I wrapped the backing for the binding again too.
I had to experiment with the pinked edges and the binding.
It's not perfect, but I like it ;D
And yes, this is the same fabric I used for the Wolf's quilt blogged HERE.
Will be linking up with Amanda Jean over at Crazy Mom Quilts :)
It looks awesome! I have also been eyeing the hexies lately but haven't made the leap!
ReplyDeleteThat pattern looks pretty intense! And really awesome,too! I thought you were going to take a break during Christmas vacation?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Fun pattern, fun fabrics. Great work.
ReplyDeleteI saw this on flickr this morning and thought it was a beautiful quilt! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful. I like how you left the sides - probably a little scary to bind? But turned out so great!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt turned out super cute. I like that you made the strips bigger.
ReplyDeleteI love yours! I am working one also. it is addicting.
