Hexi block (kinda!)
Like my Hexi Block?
Want to know how I did it?
I painted it of course, but then you already knew that didn't you :D
The back view shows how I stitched around each shape. Added some embroidery...
...and flipped the edges of the backing to the front to do the binding.
One day I am going to a hexagon quilt the correct way. Maybe like this one.
**This is part of my own personal challenge to create and learn a bit more about traditional quilt blocks while adding my own twist, as described here. I am following the free Block of the Month classes on Craftsy as my guide.
Wow! I am speechless - that is so beautiful! It is so simple, clean and effective and the colours are just wonderful. xCathy
