This is just coming OFF my design wall because it's ready to quilt. This Quilt of Valor flimsy is a free pattern from Bonnie Hunter called Fourth of July. Her version is scrappy and mine used up some yardage, but either version works really well. This was a really easy pattern and uses no tiny pieces. See what free patterns are available from Bonnie's blog.
Do you notice the golf club to the right of my quilt? I laid this out on the floor of my husband's office which is next door to my sewing room in our basement. He has a 25' putting green on the floor and since he had just vacuumed it I thought it would be a nice clean spot to lay this out. LOL
On my desk (not my design wall) is a lovely gift I received from LeeAnna at https://lapaylor.blogspot.com/. She has been making these beautiful hexie mug rugs as gifts for friends. It's right next to my laptop where I see it every morning as I sit down to work.
Isn't it pretty? Red is my favorite color and she used a gold metallic thread to stitch around the edges. The backing is felt. Pretty and purposeful - the best kind of gift. I feel lucky to be considered a friend!! Thank you so much!!
That pattern is perfect for a QOV, and your version is beautiful. Nice job! I admire anyone who works with hexies. I made one project and decided that was enough.
ReplyDeletePerfect quilt top! That hexie coaster is very cute. I ran acrosss some cut out hexies yesterday...I put them in the small box of fabric I am keeping. I really enjoyed hand sewing hexies...it may be a a project someday again:)
