Yesterday, I promised you Hexies and Log Cabins, so let’s get started!!
The first quilt is a sweet, traditional Hexie…..
There are 2,450 hexagons (approximately 3/4-inch). It was pieced by hand and ruler quilted….
This next quilt is also a traditional design….
She says “in every stitch, ‘Scrap Happens’ captures the joy of embracing imperfection and finding beauty in the unexpected.”
In particular, I appreciated the scalloped border and the intricate quilting…..
Yet more English-Paper-Piecing was displayed in this quilt…..
The “ghost” stars quilted in the border add that much more to the design….
Moving to Log Cabin blocks…..
This traditional offset log cabin is a collaboration between mother and daughter!!
And as with all of the quilts, the quilting is gorgeous….
Going to a more modern log cabin…..
Silver Foil embossing and metallic threads reflect the glimmer of distant stars.
SO MANY TINY STRIPS!!!
Have a look at this Imrpov-Pieced quilt…..
She made excellent use of straight-line quilting….
I love a good “Curtain Quilt” and the colors in this one tickle my fancy…..
In particular, I love the alternative designs formed in the background. That took a mastery of her fabrics!!
.
OKAY…. three days down, one to go. Come back tomorrow for the final in the “Pieced Category”.

I am REALLY enjoying these pictures from Houston!
I, too, focus on detail, and your pictures show so much more of that, than any of the videos I’ve been watching on YT. I also like the way you give the extra information about the quilt, and the maker, which I assume comes from the cards, another thing which isn’t shown on the videos on YouTube.
I am so glad Barb. I loved reading all of the stories behind the quilts!!
