Another Mini Blog Hop - Regency Fabrics

Contest is over. Kathy is the winner of the Blank Quilting bundle of 3 fat quarters. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. We have another one June 10!
The Regency Collection by Blank Quilting
Today I am joined again by two blog buddies. We've never met but I discovered their blogs this past year and I follow them because of their obvious joy in playing with lovely fabric and making happy projects. This is our SECOND challenge, aided by fabrics from Blank Quilting.  For this Regency Collection we each got 1/4 to 1/3 yard of each print. I actually made a horrible mistake with the small amount of border print I got, so I'm hoping my partners did something with it.

Who are my partners in this challenge?

I invite you to visit their blog sites today, see what they have come up with, and then go to Blank's Facebook page and see what new things they may have. Come back and tell me you've been to Blank's site and I will enter your name in a giveaway of fabrics. None of us have enough to offer these exact fabrics, so I've pulled together some other luscious Blank Quilting fabrics (see bottom of this post for fabrics).

So, this time, what did I make? I keep coming back to my Hexagon Rings and this time I made a single Grandmother's Flower Garden (GFG) block - all by machine.
GFG Hexagon Ring: each hexagon finishes to 4-1/2"
 I faced the 6 hexagons with mediumweight interfacing
Faced Hexagon Ring using interfacing
Applique the focus hexagon (which is also interfaced) onto the center
Don't you just love interfacing? It's AWESOME!
Now it's ready to be appliqued to a 15-1/2" background square of white on white fabric:

Center and machine applique with invisible monofilament thread
And then cut away the white background fabric from behind the GFG
Clip away fabric to reduce bulk. This would make an interesting applique, huh?
Everything clipped away and you can see the seaming and applique stitches
I made some tissue holders from the other fabrics
6 tissue holders, lined to create illusion of binding

Remember, I have TWO MORE BLOG POSTINGS THIS WEEK:

Tuesday, May 28th is my day for the Flowers!
Friday, May 31 I am a guest blogger at the Benartex blog:

    Love your hexies! Such gorgeous and rich fabrics! One day I'm going to make a black and white quilt, it's on the list. My two colors I'm crushing on lately are yellow and gray.

    Thank you for a super giveaway and a chance to win.

    Love the hexies and tissue covers! I'm a bright color person, but I'm also drawn to black, white, and some sort of pop of color like a bright green or purple. Oh gee..... I love just about any combination! Happy Memorial Day!

    Love your flower, the black and white is striking. I have been to Blank's Facebook page and website, I was drawn to the Belaire collection. I have an extensive stash of dragonfly fabrics and the fabric in your give a way would fit in beautifully. I do actually use some of the fabric once in a while!

    I just finished a black/white/red quilt - you can see it at mountainquiltworks.blogspot.com. I'd have to say my favorite color combo, at the moment, is aqua/lavender/green. Weird, but true!

  25. LindaMay 27, 2013 at 9:43 AM

    The small pattern on these prints really lend themselves to hexagons. Very pretty, Debby!

    Right now, I love yellow, green and red together. Ask me tomorrow and it might be something different. :)

    I love the Blank website and am "friends" with them on Facebook! They have the neatest fabrics! The Madeline collection is so bright and cheery!

    I visited Blanks Facebook page. My favorite colors are orange and purple. But I am collecting red and black and white for a quilt pattern I found. This would be a great prize to add to that box.

    Not sure my favorite color combo. I have not made very many quilts and I seem to end up with a rainbow palette. For example, the baby quilt I am working on has green, blue, yellow.. (well just about every color except pink and black).

    ReplyDelete
  31. Lisa EnglandMay 27, 2013 at 10:25 AM

    My current favorite color combo is aqua, lime green and bright yellow. Often I also throw in some white or grey as well. Your hexies and fabrics are so cute!

  32. Karen in Breezy PointMay 27, 2013 at 10:52 AM

    What a cool technique for hexagons! I see Sandi Irish has a fun pattern using hexies on the Blank FB page--there can never be too many hexie patterns--so fun!!
    My favorite color combo would have to be blue and white. I know--kind of boring but it's a classic!

  35. Fiber BabbleMay 27, 2013 at 11:55 AM

    I'd say my favourite color combo is Tangerine and Violet...

    But if you were to look at my body of work (heh) it would tell a different story: Cranberry and Forest/Carnation and Celery/Cherry and Jade.

    In other words, red and green. ;-)

  36. Amy, a redeemed sheepMay 27, 2013 at 11:58 AM

    What a great idea on how to sew hexagons! I seriously do not want to hand sew them all together, but this would be doable. =)
