In case you haven’t noticed, I have a bit of a quilting addiction. While I am not the fastest quilt-maker (quilter-er? quiltest?), I take pride in each of my creations. They’re kind of like my babies… a labor of love and they seem to develop their own “fabric personality”. My latest finished quilt definitely took on a personality all its own. My Hexi Quilt is fun, bright, colorful and just a little bit crazy 🙂 Maybe a little bit like the person that created it? LOL. It’s easy to see that #ImAddictedToQuilting 🙂
I used the “Sew Hexagons by Machine pattern from the Fall/Winter 2012 Quilt Sampler Magazine. (You can get a digital copy here) Using the template provided I cut hexagons. Lots and lots and lots of hexagons. You can check out my progress here, here and here. Its finished and photographed and now I get to show it off! 🙂
I mentioned in my last Work In Progress update that I was frustrated with the backing. It puckered. 🙁 You can see it here on the back of the quilt. I was kinda P.O.’d about it.
Other than the puckering that happened on the back, I LOVE everything about this quilt. It’s a large crib size (approx. 55 x 33 inches) and would be perfect for a play blanket 🙂 I started cutting more hexi’s for another quilt last night 🙂 I’m gonna try to stick to boy colors this time 🙂
Beautiful quilt!
So cute! I love the bright colors you used 🙂 great job!
Do you sell these?! Because when I saw this on IG yesterday I nearly died. It is SO BEAUTIFUL and so perfect. xoxoxo
I was going to put this one in the shop, but when the backing got messed up I decided not too. I'm starting on another one though! SO that might go in the shop 🙂
BEAUTIFUL! Do you quilt it by hand or do you have a quilting machine? I’m curious because I learned to hand quilt and that is fine for the piecing it together ,but it takes TOO LONG to the quilting step.
I do it all by machine. I'm a self taught quilter… I don't think I would have the patience to hand quilt. I would like to try it someday though 🙂
Beautiful!! You did great job!!
It's beautiful! Don't worry about some slight puckering it is on the back so it wont be seem xo
Looks gorgeous! Love the hexies in all the different colours 🙂
LOVE IT JEN!!!! It's absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer… From Dream To Reality last week!!!
It's beautiful! Don't worry about the puckering–it looks like a design feature 🙂 Great job!
I'm sorry it puckered int he back, but no one would have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it!
Gorgeous! Love the shape and colors!! thanks for sharing at Monday Funday!
So cute! I've become addicted to quilts… I have tons of projects that I want to do… but I've not had the time!
LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I'm obsessed with Hexagons
I love this, Jennifer! I am going to add this to my quilting list to make one. I can just picture a baby laying on this and learning the colors.
