Hexagons

Finally my section of the hexagon quilt that I call Noriko’s Star is ready to add to the quilt.    This is the section I think I showed earlier in the week – the stitching is now done.

I laid it out on the design floor to make sure all was right before I did a color chart for this section of which I need to make 5 more of.  It is laying on the floor right now – not stitched to the body but checking placement – the space in between the star point (4 more to make) and this “point” will have a triangle shaped piece in it next – the area where the ruler is at.  I will need to make 12 of the triangle shape – I have not decided on color at this moment but they will be light in color and the black hexagons go all the way around to have the star shape stand out.  With going by the photo that I have it is done in about 3 or 4 light colors and I think that is what I will be going with.  Much more to go on this quilt as when all of this is done all the way around there is more to do.  I am linking to Sarah’s Confessions of a Fabric Addict and   Wendy’s Quilts and More

Here is a close up of the area.  Recently I was asked if I had the pattern to sell – no I have no pattern for this hexagon quilt.  I saw it on Pinterest and I am copying it.   I am making it in a different color scheme and not claiming the design as my own.  My version is slightly different here and there because the photo I am going by is not perfect.  If you wish to make a unique hexagon quilt I suggest you look at Pinterest.  There are many unique hexagon quilts there and you can do as I do – make you own by starting in the center (or do in rows if you wish) and just make it your own by using your colors, the size hexagons you wish to use and just do not say it is your pattern.  Acknowledge that someone else made it and you do not claim it as your design or write out a pattern saying it is yours and then sell it.

I finished the top row of the Rainbow Crossings quilt and the blocks are sewed in a row and sewed to the top of the quilt.  I put the blocks away that are for the sides.

Next I switched it up and put the bottom of the quilt to the top of the wall to work on it.  I had two left over green blocks to mix in on that side of the border.  For the blue side on the left I have two blocks to add – the right side I have no left over block for I might make a reddish color block in the crossed canoe pattern to mix in but I am not sure yet.

I am knitting a scarf and find my fingers and hand doesn’t hurt as they did when I was crocheting last month so for now it is knitting now and then for something different I find it relaxing – I was going to try to learn a cable pattern for it but I found I was becoming too frustrated with it and kept messing up – I would do about 5 rows and had to rip it out one too many times and I switched to easy – the whole point of this is to enjoy it not be frustrated with it.  I might try cables another time – knitting and crochet is not the first love so I might not meant to be an expert and do knitting that is more complicated.
