| Hexagons with sashing |
Sometimes ... I'm convinced that ignorance is what drives creativity ... it never occurred to me that it would be difficult to sash hexagons ... until, of course, I had already cut 40+ of them out. Who knew?
I finished my first commission quilt this week ... which I will share when I get around to taking some photos ... my second commission is a baby quilt for a boy and it was left TOTALLY up to me to do what I want ...
And I decided it was hexagons ... still not entirely sure what I'm going to do with them ... but I've got some ideas once I finish sashing them all.
Which leads me to the sashing part ... not so easy ... but I'm optimistic this will work ... once I figure it all out ;-).
So far ... I've got a stack of about 30 of them with 1" Kona Snow sashing ... I'm actually looking forward to seeing what I do with them ...
Hope you guys are having a productive week!
All the best,
Lisa
I love the white sashing on them - really makes them pop, and the background that you've taken the pictures of them on just emphasizes that - I can so see them sewn up with a linen background in that "just thrown on there" way they look in the picture i.e. different amounts of background showing through between them. This is going to be a charming boys quilt for sure!
ReplyDeleteThose look fantastic! Elizabeth Hartman's Modern Patchwork book has a quilt on the cover that has sashed hexagons - might be some inspiration/help there if you need it :)
