I have never been more excited to share with you a quilt than I am today!! My hexie flower quilt is done. Finally! No more basting hexies or sewing flowers together. When I initially started back in the summer of 2015, I never thought it would take me this long. In fact it was going so slow tha
Hi friends, Today I am excited to share a bit of work that has been keeping me busy the past couple of months for this past Quilt Market - Hexie Pillows! United Notions - Moda Fabrics is now carrying my Modern Handcraft pattern line and to celebrate I created some of my Hexie Pillows using some of the new lines that will be available soon!

I love making EPP hexies. It's mindless work for when I want to occupy my hands but don't want to think about what I'm doing. They are a great portable project for on the road work. But, honestly, I get kinda bored with the standard layouts I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah .. seen that, seen that, seen that. BUT THEN .. this layout just showed up on my FB feed. It's *stunning*. Absolutely amazingly incredible. I think to get the color distribution right, you'd almost need to have a design wall and put the hexies up as you make them or graph it all out before you even start. Either way, I really, really, really love this layout.
First let me say that I absolutely love the way this quilt is turning out. I wasn't sure I would like the rainbow effect but boy is i...

This quilt is made up of EPP hexagons, sewn together by hand and originally hand quilted but then i decided to throw it on the longarm and add some feathery texture to it.
Hi friends, I am tempted to call this Geometric Rainbow 2.0 since it is so similar to my last big hexie project, but the jury is still out on that one. What I do know is that I fell in love with this fabric before I even cut it - and it was in fact painful to cut (I was so worried I was going to get the ombré effect out of order!) Vanessa Christenson of V and Co. was so sweet to send me the full ombré collection for Moda and this is exactly what I wanted to do with it, make a large scale hexagon piece. I will be sending this to her to have in her booth at Fall Quilt Market in Houston, so if you are there stop by and take a peek! I usually stick with the darker brick wall on our building's patio but the white wall in my landlords basement was too tempting! Enjoy some pictures and some close ups :) There are a total of 340 hexagons on this project - 17 hexies in each colorway. I used my Modern Hexies method of applying them to the backing fabric and then quilting from corner to corner. Thanks for stopping by today and if you would like to make a project like this of your own - be sure to check out my Hexie Pillow pattern here. It has the full Modern Hexies method including video links to help you with your project! Happy sewing, -Nicole

Rich, scrappy, EPP hexagon quilts are my favourite! In the past, when I've tried to pull off this vibe, it's either been too rich, or too soft. With this version of Haypenny, I feel like I'm slowly understanding what fabrics I need to use, and how to put them together in a way I'm really happy with.

I spent a wonderful day yesterday with the Cherokee Rose Quilt Guild in Douglasville, GA. I think this must be the most energetic and enthusiastic group I have ever taught! They were so much fun! And look at this fabulous hexie quilt that was brought to share! Gorgeous! And someone else brought their 2014 Hexie Block of the Month quilt! Gorgeous! They all got their hexie on! I had more people tell me at the end that hexie have never been on their radar - never thought they'd want to make them. But now, they have a inspiration to get started - yay! That means I did my job, sharing the hexie love! Today, I tired! But I have to get going! I need to finish my article and photos for Quilting Arts magazine. And then...maybe....a nap...

Hi friends, Today I am sharing some photos of the Kona hexie quilt I made last month as my entry into the Quiltcon Quilt Show for next year. I have shared many progress pictures on Instagram and a few over here on the blog so I am so excited to share the final quilt with you all! The method I use for the application and the quilting can be found in my Hexie Pillow pattern. I would say this is more of an art quilt due to the delicate nature of the hexagons, but would look lovely draped at the end of your bed, or like I intend to use it, as a wall hanging in my house. Here are a few images from this earlier post showing the full range of Robert Kaufman's Kona solid collection. This includes the entire collection of 303 Kona cotton solid colors in hexagon form. These took a little while to create and were mostly made on the airplane when I had some time here and there to make a few. These have become my favorite traveling project just because of the small amount of materials that you need and how easy they are to sew up a few here and there while I am out of town. This was the first time I had tried this method of modern hexies on such a large quilt - this is a throw sized quilt and the previous quilts are all mini's. Thankfully it came together much easier than I expected. I layered my solid white fabric with my cotton batting and then hung it up in my dining room with a few thumbtacks stretching it out flat. Using the crease I made with my iron I just glued in no particular order onto the solid fabric. Once you make a few of these you can just eye ball the pattern and since I had my stack of hexies in color order I tried to keep the flow nice by having the darker solids in the middle getting lighter as I reached the edges. Here are some final shots of the quilt, I so enjoyed sewing this one up and am looking forward to making a new one in a different style. The quilt rack shown in some of these images is actually a fantastic towel stand that was only $20 that I found at Ikea. I have tested it out with over 5 throw quilts and it is so sturdy and quite nice to look at! I discovered when folding up in different ways and placing on the quilt rack that it takes on a whole new look with the different sections of color. You can make it match just about any room in your house if folded correctly! A huge thank you to Robert Kaufman for supplying me with the Kona 303 collection for this project. It has been a dream item on my list to create and am so very thankful to the ladies who assisted me with this! If you would like to make a project using the Modern Hexie method I used - you can find instructions in the Hexie Pillow pattern, the pattern includes a link to download your own hexie templates and video links on how to start your project. Thanks for stopping by today friends! -Nicole
I've been meaning to make a hexagon quilt forever. It's one of my lifelong dreams. All my sewing idols have done it. They are so pretty and would be such a neat keepsake. I really
