Today I'll show you my hexie quilts.

| Finished size 56" x 60" |
You may remember seeing this one during construction.
I used the Missouri Star Quilting company half hexie ruler and chopped up a whole layer cake (Kate Spain - Sunnyside).
This was quilt no.2 using this ruler (you can see no.1 here). I used a donated vintage sheet on the back, which goes perfectly with the soft sunny tones of the fabrics on the front.
This is a really simple quilt to make. So for those who like a little more of a challenge in their quilts, I present the hexie stars quilt.

Still using the half hexie ruler, but this time the layer cake squares (Noteworthy, Sweetwater) are kept whole, with navy triangles added to the corners to create a starry secondary pattern.
Both of these quilts could be easily enlarged with the addition of borders.
Hexies of all shapes and sizes are a particular favourite of mine, and lend themselves to lots of fun quilting designs. I hope you like them too!

yes I certainly like both these, some lovely fabrics in both of them, think the one with the navy in is my favourite I like the big contrast in the colours
ReplyDeleteIv been sort of thinking that BIG hexagons would be fun to play with x they look great xx
ReplyDeleteI think I need to get myself a hexie ruler. I've only ever done EPP hexies. Love your quilts!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are great, I particularly like the muted colours of the top one
ReplyDeleteA hexie ruler would certainly make it a lot quicker than using EPP, I just might try one if I can cope with them not matching exactly in the pattern on the joins.
ReplyDeleteI love them both! Hexies are a big favourite of mine too - I seem to always have a couple of hexagon based projects on the go!! xx
