Millefiori quilts
 

This is probably old news, but new to me............anyone here doing this type of EPP...there is a shop/ site, Katja's quilt shoppe in Canada that is offering a quilt along BOM doing this sort of design...PaperPieces.com has the monthly kit it seems. I am kind of interested, I think.....the original millefiori quilts book by Willyne Hammerstein was out of print, I understand, but is being reprinted, and really hard to find..... This QAL is not the same... This is based on Katja's book...THE NEW HEXAGON...designed from hexies in it.....I think I will try the first one...just to see if I really want to go crazy!

do you have a link... i went to the site and cannot find it

Here's the link to Paper Pieces:

I don't believe I would have the patience but it's gorgeous!

try the library for his book too. you never know.

I have Katja's book, but would like to get hold of the millefliori quilt book.....I tried our library..no luck I'll see if they can electronically order it for me

Library does not have it ....checked all of the US.......I did find a site in France that has the French version...to bad I don't speak/read French......
It's amazing that there are none out there for sale.........

The New Hexagon, Amazon has it.

Yes, I have that book....the one that is impossible( for me, anyway) to find is Millefiori Quilts by Willyne Hammerstein.

It seems to be the popular one for EPP now.......

Geri, if you or anyone else finds it, please let me know. It is so superior to The New Hexagon. Just beautiful. I will keep looking. Thank you.

Thanks sooo much for this info! I had no idea and I like to pp hexies. I signed up for the QA BOM. excited to get started!

I googled the author's name & found the book at www.Linapatchwork.com . It might be www.Linaspatchwork.com. The price is in pounds, so it must be England or Australia. Good luck.

You can also order it from the publisher Quiltmania: http://www.quiltmania.com/product/L/...i-quilts-.html. The price is in Euros. It looks like it costs about $42 US, but it doesn't include shipping. It is a beautiful book.

That is a bit pricey....will play the waiting game...bound to show up and hopefully a bit more reasonably priced.....

Thanks for sharing..

Geri, PaperPieces.com has the Millifiore Quilts book by Willyne Hammerstein. La Passacaglia is the name of the most popular quilt in that book. This quilt is based on pentagons, not hexagons. It looks really hard, but it isn't The hard part is deciding which fabric & what to fussy cut!!! I am making Katja Marek's Mille-fiore quilt, but reduced the hexies to 1.5" as 3" are just too big.

I have been busy making Dear Prudence with 5/16" hexies. I've got about 6745 hexies in it so far & will have over 27,000 when finished. Here is a pic of it.

I have not seen it for under $50 or so.

I am working on the La Pass quilt, just started about a month ago, here is the most recent pic I have of my progress. https://scontent-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hp...5a&oe=558F601E
