Retired Workshop Quilts

I am slowly retiring workshops that I no longer want to teach. I currently have over 3 dozen boxes of samples and I'm opening them one by one, taking out the samples and making quilts with them.

Big Block Hexagons is one of them. I blogged about one of my sample quilts last year. Here is the quilt, since given to a little kid last Christmas.

Let it Snow Hexagons: 40" x 46"

You can see some of my process steps in the blog post.

This next quilt was made using a gorgeous collection in turquoise. I used each horizontal row in my class to demonstrate the piecing sequence. This was a simplified version of the main quilt.

Here is the main quilt done in lavenders. It seemed to be difficult after I taught it the first time. That's why I simplified it! But I still included the pattern for this in the class. Note my two fabric borders!

The next one is also one using the simplified assembly. It is still a quilt top and will become a charity quilt next Spring when we start collecting them for Young Lives here in Virginia. I used a Benartex collection called "Back to School."

And the most recent finish (from class samples) is similar to the lavender one, only smaller.

Hexies in My Garden: 38" x 40"

Yes, that's it! That's the way I teach workshops - LOTS and LOTS of samples. I plan on finishing the turquoise quilt soon once I find a border print and some backing. It will be large enough for an adult lap quilt.
