MODERN HEXIE BABY

After three days of quilting, it's done. I love the simplicity of it.


Inspiration came from a couple of sources ( here and here ).


I used two different sized hexagons and a selection of springy colours. The background is feathered friends by Northcott. I hadn't originally planned to appliqué these down and then mow over them with stitching, but I really wanted to try this dense quilting so I went for it!



The lines are 1/4" apart


After all that quilting I thought it might stand up by itself, but surprisingly it has a nice drape to it.


backing is Textures by Angela Walters



I will definitely be doing this type of quilting again. Perhaps on an even bigger quilt.
I am happy, happy, happy.
