Blogger's Quilt Festival 2018

After reading Wendy's and Barb's posts about the quilts they entered in Blogger's Quilt Festival 2018, I decided to join in the fun! Make sure you hop on over to AmysCreativeSide.com to see all the quilts and think about entering one of your own :)


I'm sharing the Morris Hexathon quilt that I made in 2016-17. I was participating in Barbara Brackman's SAL making blocks inspired by English textile designer, William Morris.

 
The top is pieced entirely by hand.


There was lots of fussy-cutting :)


I hand quilted each pieced block following the design . . . 


. . . and quilted three concentric hexies in the setting blocks.


I added a little 'something extra' to the label.

  10. Your quilt is beautiful! I was born in Walthamstow where William Morris is from and where there is an amazing museum full of his work, so I know his fabrics pretty well. Your fussy cutting is just perfect and shows off the details for well!
