Margaret's African Fabric Quilt

Quilt pattern 'Modern Curves'

I have quilted several quilts which have showcased African fabrics and this is another, this time made by Margaret.  I am always amazed how cleverly the maker has managed to incorporate the mix of fabrics and loud colours.  Margaret made a variety of  blocks which included four-patch and nine-patch blocks and set them on point and joined them with sashing.

Fabadashery Longarm Quilting helped to finish it off with a smart digital pantograph called 'Modern Curves'.

Jelly Roll Hexagon Quilt made by Ruth, quilted by Frances Meredith

Jelly Roll Hexagon Garden Quilt made by Ruth,
quilted by Frances Meredith

The last few posts have been about traditional hexagon quilts, so I thought I would share a more modern take on the hexagon with this lovely quilt made by Ruth, which she went home with last week. The hexagons are 12 inches across.

I think this pattern is called 'Hexagon Garden' and uses 2.5 inch Jelly Roll strips, made from a Moda Jelly Roll 'Guernsey', to make up the hexagon shapes, so easy to make on the sewing machine.The quilt was stitched with a digital pantograph called 'Ginger Flowers'.
