Nice gray weather, right? These blah gray days make me dislike Vermont in the winter. Plus, it makes it awfully hard to get a decent photo!
Anyway, the quilt…these half hexagons have been waiting to be sewn into a quilt for some time now! I cut them all many, many months ago, and then they sat in a box forever. After the design wall was hung, I put a few up, just for something nice to look at, and they’ve been there since.
I had big plans at one point, but finally I had to admit to myself that I just wasn’t going to get around to it. So instead, I went with an old favorite… I used a similar design for the original Sprinkling of Hexagons, and it remains one of my very favorites. For this one, I used the Flea Market Fancy prints for the hexagons, on a background of solid white. The actual sprinkling of hexagons goes across the lower section of this quilt, with just a few hexagons in the upper corner.
It’s backed with one of my favorite green prints from the Flea Market Fancy line
and bound with Kona Coal, which really looks great with this fabric.
This one measures in at about 37″ x 45″, so a nice baby quilt size, or a perfect size for a nice wall hanging. It is now listed in the shop.
It looks great! Yes, it does look dark and gray there. Brrr.
Love the hexagons. I especially like the sprinkling of them. It looks fresh and OH so cold.
I just love your hexagon quilts. They are so creative and beautiful.
I love hexagons and FMF, so put them both together and you get a fabulous quilt! Love the sprinkling of the hexagons — very unique. I think this would make a very interesting wall hanging.
I no photographer, but it is harder to get good pictures with so many rainy, gray days. Our snow has come and gone here, and you never know if more will come or not. I have to admit that I wish we had some because I am loving all the pictures of quilts in the snow. I just finished a value quilt top in Kaffe Fassett fabrics that would look beautiful with a snowy background. I guess it’s not too far to drive up into the mountains. Maybe after it’s quilted….
beautiful!! i heart hexagons & i love the white space that you made!
Ditto jaybird above. Not much I can add to that!
I bought all the Kona white they had a JoAnn’s yesterday, which was a measly two yards. Hope they restock soon!
Oh my! This is stunning! I love it so much!
You come up with the most amazing designs. Love it!
Have you ever thought about writing a quilt book with some of your designs? As this is gorgeous.
That quilt is so bright and cheerful, it makes the greys go away!!
Amazing quilt!!
That is really cheerful and lovely — a nice contrast to a cold grey winter day. Great blog!
