Emma's Red and White Hand Stitched Hexagon Quilt, quilted at Fabadashery Longarm Quilting

Emma's Red and White Hand Stitched
Hexagon Quilt

Here is Emma's red and white hexagon quilt, which she has completed over several years.  The joy of small, hexagon, English Paper Piecing is that you can carry it with you when you are out and about and gradually it builds and builds until you have a beautiful heirloom quilt like this. Knowing each stitch intimately usually means that the quilt has a lot more meaning to you.

However, there comes a time when you have to put the small pieces together and all the quilt top becomes larger and larger - slightly less easy to carry around and a challenge to quilt.  This is where Emma sought the longarm quilting services of Fabadashery Longarm Quilting.  The quilt top was definitely the star of the show, so a subtle low key thread colour and a simple pattern was required.  The pattern we chose was Squirts by Anne Bright.  Also, because the quilt was very large, Emma chose 100% Hobbs Wool wadding, to make it as light as possible.
