"My Favorite 8"
12 inch Square
This piece has my 8 favorite fabrics in my hexie scrap box. I have a scrap box with 2.75 inch squares that will someday be a 1 inch hexie, then go into an insanity postage stamp style top, I have yet to start because the insanity hasn't quite hit me yet . Then as I appliqued it, I folded the fabric to center it and planned on straight line quilting it but those 8 unplanned quadrants I made, gave me an awesome lightbulb moment!!!
So I free motion quilted my 8 favorite, go to designs!!!! Because I've been down this week sick ( seems like every first week it's something, for example 3 years ago during the first week my little guys came 2.5 weeks early!!) I decided last night I had to try to make something!! I think I work best under pressure :) I create in the middle of nowhere Dickens, Tx.

Love it!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I've voted for you. I made a quilt for this challenge yesterday in a hurry, bacause I was so ill with a bad flu this first week of the year, too. I really saw my quilt in a fever fantasy one of the days. Good luck, and have fun.
ReplyDeleteEverything about your piece says "8"! Especially like how you have 8 different sections of free motion quilting making the hex' s more dimensional.
ReplyDeleteIt's great...love the quilting
