Big Flower Quilt.....Progress

 

Remember this Big Hexy Flower?







I chose these 4 lime green fabrics
for the background hexies...




I put the light green background hexies
up on the design wall with the BIG Flowers:

they look NEON green......eeek!

After looking at this on the design wall
for the last 2 months, I took them all down.



I found a richer, calmer green fabric
and wrapped it around the hexy papers:


Ahhh....much better.




There is a bed sheet under the hexagons.
They will be pinned onto the sheet.
Then I can keep them in order as I 
hand piece the hexagons.




This is a bed quilt and will finish 

102 inches square.

Lots of hand piecing for these cold winter nights.

  1. When I saw the first picture, it was so bright but I liked it. I thought maybe you were trying to make a statement like "let the sunshine in". LOL That would definitely brighten up a room! I kept going back and forth looking and the two. You obviously made a good decision in changing the green hexies. Have you thought about the quilting? I am sure you have! I really do like those big hexies. I might have to put that on my bucket list.

      Yes, I am in deep thought about the quilting. With all this hand piecing ahead of me, I will have lots of time to continue to think about the quilting.....haha.

      Happy New Year To You,

  2. I love it! I am making a hexi quilt to but very scrappy and much smaller hexies. Have not even started thinking about putting them together in a design yet. Your big flowers are amazing!
