I am always in awe of quilters who have the patience to hand piece. I am particularly attracted to hexagon quilts and Jessie's Hexagon Quilt is no exception. Jessie has made a large, scrappy looking, paper pieced hexagon quilt.
As this quilt has so many busy prints and the quilting would not really stand out, we decided to quilt it with an all-over swirly design called Waterworld. The quilting has again added a lovely texture and movement to the quilt.
Jessie was thrilled when she picked up her quilt - I always love seeing my customer's reaction to their finished quilt. I hope you are enjoying your quilt Jessie - it must be very satisfying to complete such a large hand-pieced quilt.
Karen! I would have LOVED to have seen this one in the flesh...the piecing looks amazing and I love the extra element that your quilting has given it. Beautiful.
ReplyDeletePS: The glacial quilt is beautiful...have had it on the bed, without binding and even though it doesn't belong to me!
What a beautiful quilt! Someday my hexagon quilt will be finished!
ReplyDeleteLots of work in that quilt! Waterworld is such a great versatile pattern!
