Blogger’s Quilt Festival – Applique Quilt

I decided that I wanted to enter two different categories this year in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival.  You can see my first entry here, my second entry is into the Applique Category.  I don’t do much hand work, so my project is machine appliqued.  

I made this small wall hanging for the Modern She Made Swap on Flickr. The theme this time is Hexies which are right up my alley. I have over 1500 of them made and waiting for another 300 before I start piecing my quilt.

Spiral Hexie Wall HangingFor this quilt I used hexies ranging in size from 1″ all the way up to 4″ (if measuring along one side). They are appliqued onto a gray Essex Linen Backing and matchstick quilted.  Considering how small the quilt is I was shocked at how many bobbins I went through!

I love a good rainbow so I went scrappy rainbow on it and I also wanted it to have a nice flow, hence the spiral design.

I can say, with absolute certainty, that this will be one of the hardest quilts I ever let go of when I mail it to its new owner later this week!

    Another great entry. I’m a fan of hexie quilts and I love the way you’ve arranged them. It’s a wonderful quilt and your partner is a very lucky, person.
