Blue Hexie and applique quilt


This is another one from Cathy and was designed by Lorraine from Patchwork Plus in Miranda in Sydney.  I had a lot of fun working out how to do the backgrounds of these blocks and I think they work really well.


The background of the hexie block was quilted on the statler using a design by Kim Diamond called Trim Bkg square 001.  The centre of the block has Anne Bright's Gala paisley hexagon block design.  I freehanded some feathers in the lighter hexies, and put a continuous curve in the diamonds.


In the applique block, I SID around the appique, then freehanded the feathers inside and outside of the wreath, and put in some fill.  The blue sashings were freehanded with a curly leafy design.


The outside border uses Anne Bright's Majolica border and p2p.

Enjoy
Belinda
