A new wall hanging quilt from remnants

Dec 26, 2008 5 Replies

Here is what I did with the remnants from the batch of samples of Susie M. Robbins Tropical Prints, that I recently acquired and used to make the Messenger Bag/Purse for my wife. I had to think of something to do with the few pieces of hexagon shaped fabric that I had, so I cut a bunch of black cotton fabric to that shape and joined the whole shebang into a small wall hanging quilt that is now hanging in my sewing room. I think the sea of black hexagons makes the colors of those Tropical prints, which are already colorful, now even more striking. The black really makes them pop. Dimensions are; 25" tall x



34" wide. Enjoy,

John

John, your creativity and work ethic are truly amazing. I have to remind myself that you have an injured hand. Thank you for sharing. I am awed and humbled.

Wow, that's pretty. I love to use black rather than white in my quilts. It makes the colors much more vibrant. Gen

You're right, John -- they really do pop! :) Lovely!

John,

The black background really makes those prints pop. Lovely!
