Flowers, Bugs and Bees

I made this quilt for Briony, it took me three and a half years to hand sew the hexagons into flowers, join them up with the blue hexagons then design and sew the centre piece consisting of a Jug of Flowers. Sewing hexagons by fussy cutting the fabrics can be fun, especially when you see what the finished flower looks like. My friend, Nicole Bridges quilted my quilt brilliantly and what a thrill it is to see it on the front cover of Down Under Quilts. Hexagons are great handwork to take when you are on the move so I've started a new hexagon quilt for the months we will be in the UK.
