Hexagon Magic

An article by Rachel    1 Comment

As I mentioned in a previous entry, hexagons intrigue me. I believe 2006 will be the year of the hexagon, starting with hexagon stars. Originally, I planned on using fabric I already owned. This idea lasted until I visited the quilt store. Several new lines from Moda begged to be purchased. I couldn’t so no. Then I ran into a beautiful black & white print. I decided to buy redish fabrics for February decor and black & white fabrics for non seasonal moments.

I really like the center fabric. It would make a beautiful duvet.

A little bit of red to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

What’s next on the hexagon horizon? I could start off with something simple, like a table runner with three hexagons, or I could dive right in a large quilt. I’m leaning towards the large quilt. In my mind’s eye, I can see a hexagon quilt done in Asian themed fabrics. I think my brother-in-law would like it.

I’m think along these lines…

I prefer the square look to the rectangle look. I need to do the math to figure out a good size.
