1934 hexagons

I made this quilt from my most favorite fabric line ever.  It’s called Circa 1934 by Cosmo Cricket for Moda.  I used Kona Sable for the sashing which I think gives it a warmer feel.  I quilted this one on my friend’s long-arm, too.  Just a large meander on this one.

This isn’t a great picture, I had to take this one inside too because of all the pollen.  PS-that’s my cat Fisher sticking his big head in the picture at the bottom.  With 2 cats and 2 dogs, pictures taken indoors will almost always have a fur kid in them!  I really loved the print that I used on the back of this one.

It’s a great graphic print and unfortunately, I used every scrap I had for the back.  You can see that I still had to piece together the corner using some of my other scraps.

This little typewriter is great.  I wish I had some more of this print!  I really like this quilt, but I’m not thrilled with the pattern I chose to use.  I wanted to showcase the great prints in this line with the big hexagon pieces.  I didn’t want to have to sew Y-seams and this pattern eliminated that.  However, it put a seam right in the middle of the hexagon.  If it was a different print, it may not be as noticeable, but it really shows up in the prints with text.  I’m hoping that when I wash it, the crinkles will kind of blend it in a bit.

I also made a bag using this fabric line that you can see here.  I’ve used it so much that I’ve already had to reinforce the straps on it.  I will be so sad when it wears out and I can’t use it anymore.

Tomorrow I’m going to a quilt retreat hosted by the Atlanta Modern Quilt Guild.  I am all packed and ready to go!  I am so excited.  I am taking 5 projects with me to work on.  We’ll see how much I get finished tomorrow!
