More Play with "Made-Fabric" Hexagons

     I have made some progress today on the “made-fabric” hexagon design but I am trying to decide which I like best or whether I need a different plan.

Homestead Quilt Class

    Saturday was the 4^th and final JoAnn Fabrics class for the Homestead quilt.  This is Betty’s quilt top all together. 

Here is her backing.  

I helped her get it sandwiched and we discussed quilting and other finishing techniques before class ended.

Denise has many blocks made and wants to make her quilt much larger so she is continuing to add blocks. 

   Both ladies will have lovely quilts when finished. 

*Update*  Here is my Homestead quilt finished.  I pulled fabric from my stash for my sample quilt.

Scrap Play and "Made-Fabric"

      Bonnie Hunter is on Quilt Cam and I am sewing crumbs to create “made-fabric” using Victoria Findlay Wolfe’s technique.   Joan contributed a large piece of made-fabric which has been added to mine. 

I used my new huge hexagon template with 5” finished sides to cute hexagons. 

I will live with this a few days during the 4^th holiday while I decide about background. 

I saved the parts that were trimmed away.  I did remove slivers so there won't be so many seams and tiny pieces.  

         I have been busy this week getting my house ready for company.  I did find time to put a simple border on this simple bargello quilt top.  I think it will make a good beginner bargello class for a small quilt that finishes 45 by 60” so it will fit a crib size batting.  

I also finished a comfort quilt top.  The components have been one of my “leader/ender projects.  I tried to use up all the pieces of these fabrics so I added the border of squares.  I still have a few of one fabric but they will go into my box of 3 ½” squares. 

Company (granddaughters and family) will arrive tomorrow so I will not be sewing for a few days.  

I am enjoying watching the baby birds in my airplane plant.  I can see 4 heads.  I am afraid to water the plant so it is suffering.

Hope you enjoy the July 4^th holiday.
