This is a Pre Cut Quilt Kit, we have done all the hard work for you by pre cutting the pieces precise and by hand, so all you have to do is start sewing.Įach block will consist of 8 wedges and 4 corner stones in fabrics shown shown.
And when that happens you know there will be another project along these lines.Wowzer!! I can’t even find the words to tell you how stunning this fabric and kit are, beautiful fabric from Michael Miller Fabrics The center design, the quilting design, background colors, quilting.just to name a few. With every design (this one included) I tend to figure out better ways to accomplish or enhance things. Why I don't use a dark background with rainbow designs I'll never know! White backgrounds feel crisp and clean and you think they will make the colors standout, but a dark background seems to enhance the colors. From there I did a few rainbow 'flower' rounds and finished with many more concentric gray rounds. I then quilted 1/2" lines in a hexagon around the center using a dark gray thread. I like that look better than the first go around with this design. I stitched a tiny zigzag around and inside the hexies using a variegated rainbow thread (see back photo!).

They aren't the most perfect starts, but I love when I can use my walking foot instead of free motion quilting. I grabbed my Aurifil rainbow mix of colors and proceeded to quilt some geometric stars. Plus, you can quilt some pretty great designs especially when you use colored thread.
This time I decided I'd quilt a design in the centers instead. When I made the first one, I actually pieced together hearts to go inside the circles. A simple guide that makes sewing the pieces together much easier. Once I had that figured out along with my fabric choices, I wrote a corresponding number on each hexie so that I could get the colors in the right position. Once all the pieces are together it measured 10" x 10", that will also give you reference to the size.Īnd what would a English Paper Pieced project be without a shot of the papers on the back?! I made myself a chart of the design with each color section labeled. With my hand as a reference.you can see just how small the hexies are in real life. The fabric is Kona Gotham and I think it makes the hexies electrified! They stand out in the best way possible. Oh the magic it makes! I decided to use a dark background for a change of pace. I'm so glad that I did! It's ten times as adorable! For the second go around I decided to use solid fabrics, stay in the rainbow theme, but use 1/2" hexies instead of 1". The process of hand stitching the hexies together goes super fast and you end up with a fun design. In between the large quilts I've tried to work in a mini or a wall hanging just to break up the 's working for the most part.Īfter I finished the first ' Hexie Heart' wall hanging I was determined to make another. It always seems to take longer than I'd like for this process! Quilting is going well, yet there are still a couple more to get to.
I've been semi feverishly trying to finish up a small stack of quilts.
