Em's hexi baby quilt

My daughter and I just finished this quilt:


quilt stats:
40" x 51" (washed)
hexi's are random fabrics
quilting is organic straight line w/ hexi's appliquéd on
batting is cotton warm & natural





2 pieces of fabric (a front and back) the size of the ending quilt are basted and quilted.  Hexi's are then appliquéd on.





Em wasn't sure she liked this quilt towards the end of it's making.  Then she saw the washed version and decided it was a keeper!  Something magic happens in that washing machine.


Chain Reaction in Figs

Chain Reaction in Figs is finally finished!  It's my new all time favorite:


quilt stats:
60" x 77" (washed)
fabric is Mirabelle by Fig Tree
negative space is Kona bleached white
warm & natural white batting
quilting design is "Tickle" by Beany Girl Quilts for Willow Leaf Studio



I fell in love with this quilt pattern when I first saw it at the Houston Market several years ago.    


It is designed by Swirly Girls and can be found in their book, also in a GIVEAWAY below.




The fabric is by Fig Tree



You can see this new line of fabric featured in this post on Joanna's (the designer) blog.

 







I had a lot of fun quilting it from a pantograph design.  You can read about it here.










 The scraps were in perfect shape for a stacked coin design for the back.
