I dug through the fabric cupboard and pulled out a few
possible suspects for border fabrics for the
Hexy Text quilt top:
possible suspects for border fabrics for the
Hexy Text quilt top:
I think a few rows of darker hexagons will work for a
border treatment on this hexagon quilt top...
Fabrics on the left side:
Scraffito by P and B Textiles
Fabrics on the right:
Whatever I could find in the fabric cupboard
The Scraffito fabrics have so much texture...
My mish mash of whatever I could find in the cupboard
also works as a border treatment...
I decided to try out a few hexagons cut from the
Scraffito fabric line:
How FUN are these?
I guess you know where I will be tonight...
Western Oregon has been stormy the last week or two:
We spent a day at the coast shopping this week...
The ocean was rough and gorgeous!
The next few images from the coast will make
excellent thermofax screens:
Along with the stormy weather here...
We had a dusting of snow yesterday.
The rose in front of the house is still hanging in there.
Yesterday I spent the day ice dyeing fabrics and shibori dyeing too.
When the fabrics have batched and washed I will show you
the results.

such an exciting quilt. I like the darker fabrics with no text for the border. Looking forward to seeing more of this .
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use type fabrics for hexies - I think your border is going to be ideal.
ReplyDeleteYou made me miss the coast of Oregon with those pictures. Last I was up there was back in 1976...78 maybe. Awwww Oregon.
ReplyDeleteLove the looks of the border on your hexy quilt...so much ambition there.
