Twisted Hexagons for Awesome Motifs

 I love to feature beautiful motifs in the center of blocks. This fabric collection is at least 15 years old and is from Blank Quilting. It's called "Days to Remember." I had yards and yards of it for some workshops I taught over those years. Here is one block where I captured an awesome motif:

This Twisted Hexagon block can be made in all sorts of sizes (my Etsy pattern captures a 5-1/2" high motif; this is cut 7-1/2"). All I had to do was adjust the size of the half hexagons.

Here is one of the quilts I made with the leftovers. My local guild needed some longer quilts and so I added the top and bottom borders as you can see here.

But I didn't chop up all the sweet motifs. I used some for the border of this quilt with leftovers from a class I taught in 2012! Winding Ways the easy way.

I've made MANY Twisted Hexagon quilts over the years. It's a great pattern for use with novelty prints for a kid's quilt, like this one using some Sockey Monkey prints. Centers are cut 5-1/2" high.

And here is one I captured some 6-1/2" high motifs with some Kaffe Fassett fabrics:

Well, that's it for now. Go look in your stash for some fun prints and consider a Twisted Hexagon to feature them.
