This quilt does not disappoint. The pink and green is divine! This is a hexie quilt, beautiful and very thin! The colors are breathtaking! Measures 84x83. Incredible tiny hand quilting.
The quilt in the image features a Hexagon pattern, often referred to in quilting as Grandmother’s Flower Garden when arranged in floral clusters, or simply a Hexie quilt.
Pattern Details
The Shape: This design is composed of hundreds of individual six-sided polygons (hexagons) sewn together.
Technique: Hexagon quilts are traditionally constructed using English Paper Piecing (EPP), a method where fabric is basted around paper templates to maintain precise shapes before being hand-sewn together.
Design Style: This is a "scrappy" version, where the hexagons are arranged in a randomized or mosaic fashion rather than in the traditional concentric "flower" rings.
Characteristics of this Quilt
Fabric Variety: The quilt showcases a massive variety of prints, including stripes, polka dots, checks, and florals, which is characteristic of your interest in complex quilting techniques.
Visual Effect: Because the hexagons are uniform in size but diverse in color, it creates a textured, shimmering effect across the surface.
Borders: The piece is framed with a double border—a dark olive green inner border and a vibrant pink outer binding—which helps contain the busy energy of the scrappy center.
