Festive Season Star
I'm pulling my Christmas themed quilts and toppers out of the closets. They are SO excited to see the light of day. I wanted something small to send my oldest sister who already has several quilts I've made for her. I don't want her to roll her eyes, but just welcome something small for her holiday table.
This is a block I made several years ago based on Katja Marek's calendar. It is the November 19 block and I chose Christmas fabrics from the Benartex Collection: Festive Season. I made this in late 2017.

I cheated and increased the size and rotary cut and stitched the patches! I drew it in Adobe Illustrator and figured out the sizes to cut. Of course I could piece it via EPP, but didn't want a little block. As you can see from this diagram, it will be 12" high and approximately 15" wide.

And here it is with lovely borders added:

| Christmas Hexie Star: 20" x 23" |
So, this went from a small pieced 6" block to a lovely table topper to grace my sister's home. I am pretty sure she will love this. What do you think?
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIf your sister doesn't love it, she can send it to me :-)

That's so pretty! Do you have a pattern? I can see it made in blue, silver and sparkly white Christmas fabrics.
ReplyDeleteSherry. You come through as anonymous, so I can't contact you. The best I can do is the digital file that shows the cutting sizes of the patches. You can do a search on this blog for "cutting hexagons", cutting diamonds, etc. These are 60 degree angles.
