Wednesday's Flowers on Thursday

In the weekend I went down to Auckland to Calico Christmas, the annual quilt exhibition of the Auckland Quilt Guild.  I had a fabulous day looking at all the quilts on display, and also did a little shopping. I bought some new fabric for my hexie-flowers and here it is sewn into Wednesday's 3 new blooms.
The fabrics in the bottom two are the new ones - cute — I just love those blues!!
 I ended up with only a couple of photos from the exhibition - obviously I was really taken with appliqué type beauties!! Leeann has lots of really good photos on her blog.


Some of you may have read this post about the MOML in a quilt shop and the reproduction fabric he impulse-bought.


I have decided to make this up for him for Christmas.  Here are the first blocks and how they will be arranged. There will be 9 of these, to make a lap quilt.
So far so good - this looks like it will come together quite quickly, the beauty of jelly rolls, I guess.

  3. I like the quilt you are making for your hubby. Your hexies have a 1930's look to them. I made a tiny hexagon wallhanging in 30's fabric a few years ago. I have it on my bedroom wall and it makes me smile.

  12. The sweetest hexagon flowers are the ones made from 1930s fabrics. You picked some pretty new fabrics for them.
