This is the top half done...
I think the colors are just wonderful...I want to keep it for myself!!
Laying out the colors to these type of quilt is always a challenge. You want it to look random, but you can't take a chance that random won't look right so you have to plan the random layout!! Then you have to make sure that you don't turn a block or row the wrong way messing up your random layout.
I numbered each row with a post-it pinned to the left end. When as I was putting these rows together I was pressing my last sewn seam and when I turned it over I realized I had used my quilt marking pen to write the numbers on the post-it, my number was gone. The ink disappears with heat! So I stopped everything and went back over my post-its with a pencil so the numbers won't vanish on me again!
I really like this one Bobbi! I wouldn't have thought to use black sashing but it really sets off the colors nicely. And I am a sucker for small hexi's so I will be looking forward to seeing what you are going to do with them!
ReplyDeleteI will keep you posted on the small hexi's. This size didn't end up being to bad. Any smaller and I don't think I would like working with it, but I have yet to do any of the small diamonds that go with it..they may be trouble!!
