Rosette two - The New a Hexagon Millefiore Quilt Along
It's June, so it must be time for Rosette # 6. I finally made a Rosette from the black and white Cotton + Steel! The typewriter print was screaming to be used so I changed the centre hexagon to accommodate it. On to the next Rosette. I do love being a pattern tester and working a little ahead. Last weekend I was teaching my Lone Star class at Katja's. Monday night I received this picture of Monette's star together already. Love those blue batiks with just a touch of purple. I quilted this adorable quilt for Sylvia! Wavy lines, swirls and ferns. So much fun. New fabrics have arrived via Spring Market. Yet to be released fabrics. Yummy! Ink and Paper are in the house. What will they become? Hmmmmmmm! Stay tuned to find out. Linking up with Finish it up Friday!
That title is a mouthful. Did I get it all? Katja Marek, who wrote this book, is hosting Mother Hen to all of us as we work our way towards having a new version of a millefiore quilt, based on the…
This is where I got stalled on Rosette #4 for The New Hexagon Millefiore Quilt, or as I call it, The Hot Mess. It may not turn out to be that, but we’ll see. I had rotated six of the blocks…
I've been working on the first Rosette for the millefiori hexagon quilt along. Its the largest one in the quilt: its the orange one in the diagram below. This is a little photo journey of my progress First up is to get organized.... figure out how many of each shape to prepare, gather supplies, then cut out the fabric pieces to baste to each template while sewing the first round, I wasnt sure about the hexagone I made for the center, which was the orange one. I had sewn several hexies from the book, so I auditioned them, while laying out the pieces of the first round, I tried placing the second round hexies with the pink bits on the outer edge, then with them on the inside edge of the round. in the end I decided to have them on the inside. I sewed another possible center, and then I sewed a third one... which is the one I decided to use, This is how it looked with the second round Then, to prepare the pieces for the third round.. glue basting is saving my bacon. I probably wouldnt do this with thread basting the pieces, but glue basting goes way faster, There are 18 pieced hexies on the third round, so I had to play with them before I sewed them on to the rosette, that was fun. then, I sewed them on. And this is what it looks like now! It is quite big, over thirty inches across, I did a little bit of fussy cutting in the white ring fabrics, Well, now I am all ready for next months blocks!, Remember, if you want to participate in this project, its easy. All you need to get is a copy of the book, The New Hexagon, and sign up on Katja's web site and she will email you the instructions each month, there is a facebook group for it, and hashtags for instagram too, so its easy to see what fabrics others are using... (just check my previous post for the links, )
Usually I donate any extra books I have to one of my guilds' libraries ... but I happen to know that my modern guild already owns a copy of this book. :) I bought a copy while I was in...
I know I always underestimate how long it will take me to complete a project, but we’re talking whole new levels with the La Passacaglia quilt. (If you don’t know what quilt I’m t…
Even tussen alle grote projecten een klein werkje. Er werd flink gestempeld met het fijne ruitjes-stempel van Dorry.Met de donkere en lichte stempelinkt,want er zitten meer donkere lapjes dan lichte in het lapje. Van de ruitjes werd een lapje gemaakt en nog een lapje in de maak.Van de twee lapjes wordt een tas gemaakt maar ik kan niet kiezen welk model,dus eerst dit lapje maar afmaken en dan zal de inspiratie wel komen. Fijne Zondag. Groetjes Lia
