One More Hexagon!
This is the latest hexagon I've made. If you look closely, each hexagon represents a Mother Goose rhyme. This fabric is left over from a baby quilt I made a fellow worker a few years ago. I love being able to use up my scraps!!
One More Finished Quilt!
My Christmas Wreath Twister quilt is finished! It was so fast to machine quilt. I outlined the actual wreath but not the individual twisters. I wanted the wreath to look as one object and not a bunch of twister blocks put together. I meandered in the background. I didn't quilt the border at all. I love the border fabric and didn't want to take away from it. It's only 2 1/2 inches wide so I thought it would be all right. I did outline the seam where the border is attached to the wreath. So far, so good!
Here's a close up of the quilting, border and binding.
One More Quilted Block!
This is the tenth block I've quilted. Two more blocks to go! This one was a continuous line design. I sewed around each point and sewed a leaf in all of the green fabric areas. I think I've made progress in machine quilting since this block took me about 30 minutes at most! I'm a little more confident and I don't feel quite as scared as I prepare to quilt.
I'm hand sewing the binding on my mystery quilt but it's not quite finished yet. I'll be showing you that some time next week, hopefully!! Have a wonderful weekend and keep sewing!
You've been very productive, girlfriend! Love the little hexagon. It's great when you look closely at a quilt and discover little secrets like your Mother Goose characters.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Auntie Em! It's a great way of using up scraps and remembering quilts we made.
DeleteYour hexagon is so cute! I love using scraps. I've got quite a pile now and need to start doing some hexies. You are doing so good with the FMQ! I think your twister wreath is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sharon! Hate not using my scraps. I'm always looking for some project to use them up!
DeleteLove the hexagon and your twister wreath looks fabulous!! Well done on the FMQ, Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely words, FarahLin!
DeleteIs that a "toile" fabric I spy on that hexie? I am addicted to toiles...so pretty. I have neglected my hexies lately...this one inspires me to pick them up again...have a super weekend! Julierose
ReplyDeleteYes, Julierose, that is a toile! I love them too! I think they're very elegant. Hexagons are fun to make but I also forget about them and then go back. It's a nice project to keep hanging around!
DeleteHi Rosemary! Love your Christmas wreath!
