Baby Hexagon Quilt

Baby Hexagon Quilt centre - half-inch hexagons have been fussy-cut and similar colours placed opposite to give balance.  The hexagons on the 6 corners have been positioned to hide the seams of the background panel.

The scalloped edges of this quilt have been turned in to enclose the batting
and whip-stitched together to give a very soft finish.
The backing fabric of cotton voile adds to the softness of this baby quilt.

Dancing Dollies Revisited

Detail - Dancing Dollies Revisited
Hexagon flowers, stars and jewel shapes are paper pieced, and then appliqued to the background fabric.
The dollies' dresses are sewn together first, and then appliqued to the background. 
Note:  the head fabric matches the dress fabric, and the arms are arranged in colour pairs - i.e. two matching upper arms and two matching lower arms.
