I have been dabbling in hand piecing with hexagons. This led me to try machine sewing with hexagons.
Every summer my mom and I take a small trip. In 2014 our trip led us to Indianapolis where I purchased this fat quarter stack at Crimson Tate, Click here to visit, downtown. Of course I had to buy something so I ended up with this fabulous selection of modern pastels. This is not more normal taste in fabric, but it really drew my eye.
After I stashed these fabrics for about half a year, I decided they would be perfect for my new hexagon obsession. I waited until after Christmas to see if I would get the hexagon ruler I had been wanting:
With no luck I used some Christmas gift cards to purchase this fabulous ruler. The project was underway.
I used the fabric on the right and saved my beloved owls for another project!
The quilting was tricking because I didn't want to take away from the quilt design. I decided to outline random hexes until my quilting ran into itself. Then I started another hexagon. I am pleased with how this machine quilting turned out!
The finished project isn't complete until Bentley checks it out! 10 seconds and he's off. I am debating on whether to keep it or sell it. Any ideas? Leave me comments please.
