New Hexagon Quiltalong
 

This is my first Rosette working with this group using Katja Marek's book. There is a group link on facebook for "The "New Hexagon" to follow along.

This is latest progress - still one more round to complete rosette 1.

I recognize that fabric!!! lol

Kassaundra - I barely had enough to fussy cut those diamonds. If you look closely at the diamonds in the second round you'll see I had to use two different flowers there luckily I found more at the quilt show last weekend and I bought two more yards. Need to decide on fabric for my last round on this rosette -I've gone from dark to light and now I'm not sure if I have the colors I need in lighter shades. I may take a break to ponder it and finish up the BOOM blocks.

It is beautiful!

great block and nice colors!!!

I almost made a fussy cut hexie block out of your fabric for the boom, but knew if anything went wrong I would have a hard time making anything out of what was left, then I thought about that one I made it into and loved that idea so much I just went w/ it.

stunning, reminds me of snowflakes

It's beautiful

Wonderful. BrendaK

Just stunning.

Gorgeous use of gorgeous fabric!

Love how you fussy cut those fabrics to show off the pattern. Looks great. Can't wait to see the rest of your work.

Wonderful!! Just beautiful!!!

wonderful pattern and awesome fabric. can not wait to see the finished product.

Very pretty block.

That is awesome!

Beautiful! Love the fabric and design.

EEP? Or inklingo? I'd EPP, Did you buy the kits from PaperPieces.com? I don't do FB.....wish there was another way to "join" a group.......no one I know personally is doing hexies...boohoo

Nice looking. I can't wait to see it all done.

very pretty

Very attractive! The colors are eye candy and very appealing! Yeah

Geri - it's EPP and I've been making my own templates from cardstock as I decided to make mine a smaller proportion than shown in the book. I am used to doing 1 inch hexies so I couldn't imagine doing a pieced hexie that is 6 inches across. I have used freezer paper in the past and then thread basted; this time I'm glue basting with the Fons and Porters glue stick. The glue basting speeds things up a lot. Katja has a web page for this quilt along with directions for one rosette released each month. You could follow along from there but you would miss out on the interaction with the group on facebook.

Very stunning. I have never seen EPP that large. Very stunning pattern. Not one who is on Facebook so I hope you will occasionally post a photo to keep a few of us up to date.

stunning block... I love your fabric collection. It looks challenging yet fun.

Beautiful block.

It is so pretty!

Beautiful. Love those colors

Ok.......I too use the glue stick to baste....and have cut hexies from cardstock, old greeting cards, etc using my GO and fiskar punch, and I DO have her book.....PaperPieces.com offers a monthly ( I think) kit of this quilt along.....I also just got a book that offers larger designs(machine sewn) with templates.......tempting.....so is peeking at the FB group.......

Love your topper

[ATTACH=CONFIG]512673[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]512676[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]512677[/ATTACH] Crafsty your block is beautiful, thanks for sharing.....Here are my three, have three more to attach to the March Hexigon - pics are from the months - left to right - Feb. March and January from the book The new Hexigons and the Millefiori quilt along from Katja's web. I am foundation piecing mine....working on too many UFO (15) - Sharon Schamber has a class now on foundation piecing with Craftsy, if anyone is interested.

I saws the first round and thought Wow! This is so beautiful! and then I scrolled to the next step...This is going to be one fantastic and stunning quilt! I especially love the center! Can't wait to see what's next!

d rickman - are you EPP or foundation paper piecing - everyone I've seen doing this quilt along is doing EPP, some by hand and some by machine. I'm making my templates from cardstock as Katja suggested in her book.

Very pretty !!!

It is a gorgeous block

That is sew pretty. Can't wait to see the finished piece

[ATTACH=CONFIG]512816[/ATTACH]Apologies - There were 3 more hexi's when the previous pic was taken, chose the wrong pic, this is the correct one with the last three hexi's added. Thanks for the nice comments! We all wonder what it will look like when it is completed - I believe there were 13 blocks in all, each block is approx. 27", so will be a fair size quilt when all put together.

That's a gorgeous block!! Nice job!!

They are all gorgeous. Hope to see them as they progress. Love the colors, they almost jump off the page. ;-)
