| Helen emailed me to say that there was some confusion in the instructions - my reply to her was that this is a very simple quilt... 4 shapes: a hexagon; a square, a diamond and a triangle, all with 2 1/2 inch sides. Start in the centre and add your shapes one round at a time, auditioning fabrics and colours as you go. Don't get too far ahead, as you may change your mind. I changed from cool tones to warm tones with each round to give maximum contrast and to make each round "pop". (The pink and yellow fabrics being the warm tones, and the blue and green fabrics being the cool tones. The white with black spot acts as a neutral to separate the colours) |
This is my favourite quilt in your book, i love its simplicity and that you can add fabrics and dynamics with each round of shapes- fussy cutting really makes it special
ReplyDeleteI’m working on this quilt as well, with 2" side papers and I love it. It’s my Olympic EPP Games quilt, it’s so easy and fun to work on while watching the real Olympic Games!
ReplyDeleteI’ll take a picture soon!
This is a fabulous quilt! Your mix of fabrics and colours is just so clever and creative! One day.....
ReplyDeleteI was just doing a little blog hopping and found you - that piece is stunning - as well as all your other posts! I just become your newest follower and look forward to seeing other great posts. Since I'm new to quilting and still learning the basics I'm in awe of what quilters can do with pieces of fabric!

This quilt top is the most beautiful thing I think I've ever seen. Also making it by hand makes it so very very special. I have loved looking at all your posts and am so looking forward to more posts from you.

It's so lovely to see close-ups of this quilt - the fabrics you've chosen look even more lovely here!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've commented on your blog before, but I just wanted to say how very much I adore your book - it's inspiring, captivating and is looked through most days! I'm currently working on a miniature version of your Tessellations quilt.

PPR pipes and fittings offer numerous advantages, including durability, resistance to heat and pressure, safety for potable water, and ease of installation. However, their ppr pipes in Egypt to UV light, higher cost, and the need for specialized tools for installation are important considerations. Despite these disadvantages, PPR pipes remain a popular choice in many plumbing and heating applications due to their overall performance and long-term reliability.
