Hex

I haven't posted in awhile.  The last quilt I did was a Christmas present for my Mom so it isn't going to get posted here until after she gets it.  The quilt that I'm working on now I'm calling Hex.  It is a pattern from Brenda Henning and is a bright and colorful quilt.

Using Quilters Dream Select Poly batting, Superior Mono Poly thread on the top and a bright pink Metro thread on the back.

Using Anne Bright's Blooming Things pantograph, the pattern is similar to the pattern in fabric on the borders.

I am thinking about putting this one up for sale at the Calico Cow, the local quilt shop since I don't think I have the room to store many more quilts.  I still have about 30 quilt tops that I have made and yet to quilt!

Batting Bar

I do not like my batting laying on the floor so my husband made a batting bar for my longarm machine.  He did a wonderful job and it works great!  No more batting on the floor.  Hip hip hurray for the hubby!!

The latest quilt is the last one for the granddaughter.  I think she should have enough quilts to last her until she is at least 5 years old!!

I quilted it with Perma Core magenta thread on the top, a matching pale lavender Metro thread on the back and Warm and Natural cotton batting.

The Circle Lord Zig Zag boards produced a nice texture on the quilt.

Next up Mom's Christmas quilt.  Now if I could only hand stitch binding down as fast as I can quilt the tops!
