  Full Schedule Here   ~~~ Tutorial for this Hexagon Flower Quilt  

My daughter asked for two smaller quilts

 for her guestbook table and cake table.

 

 

For this smaller quilt, I tried a new shape and method.

 

This one starts with the same six white center flower petals,
but is shaped by adding strips to make the hexagon as follows ... 

 

 

Triangles are added on opposite short corners

 

Nest Seams

 

 

Flower Press

 

Strips are added on three alternating sides at a time.

 

I like to use my seam roller on these short seams as a go along,

pressing the seams outward.

 I also square and trim as I go along.

 

 

 three sides done

 

Then I add the other three sides pressing and trimming as before.

 

Continue adding strips in rounds.

 

 

All the strips are 2.5"

 

Sandwiched, pinned and ready to quilt.

 

For these quilts I opened the new pair of Machigners

quilting gloves that I purchased some time ago.

 

My Girl and I went thread shopping and she selected a

variegated light lavender King Tut cotton.

 I used a decorative stitch from my machine to add thread details.

The finished quilt measures 21" across the straight sides

and 24" point to point.

 

This was actually the first quilt I completed.

 

My Girl loved it!
