I'm excited to share with you my newest quilt pattern, Color Hex! I created this quilt for my Creative Fabric Selection class at Sewing Summit, but I knew I wanted to share it with you all too!
It was inspired by a pouch that I made earlier in the year using english paper pieced hexagons to create a color wheel! So many color wheel type quilts are circular, naturally. I wanted to do something a little different and hexagons seemed like the way to go!
This quilt uses half-hexagons so there are no funky Y-seams or anything! The quilt finishes at 45" square, perfect for a new baby or to hang in your sewing room!
Okay, you really just want to see more photos, right?
I used a Blooming Poppies tutorial on quilting concentric circles, it was really helpful! I used my walking foot, and quilted it with Aurifil 50wt #2600 thread. I love how it sinks into the quilt!
Pattern includes instructions for a solid backing or the pieced scrappy backing above!
I love this quilt! I can't wait to find a place to hang it up! :)
The pattern also includes a second version of the quilt, Floral Hex! They're constructed in the same way, but the floral version uses 19 prints, creating a giant flower!
You can find the pattern for this quilt in my shop, here.
This quilt is awesome. I love how you quilted it too.

ReplyDeleteSo awesome, Jeni!! I really want to make a hex quilt, but the Y seams were stressing me out a bit. This seems so perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteSo so fun! It's a gorgeous quilt, and you chose such lovely fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, and awesome, and the colors are just so happy. I love the concentric circles quilting, but I'm kind of scared to try it on my machine. Seems like it is an awful lot of quilt wrangling (i.e., shoulder strain).
