Log Cabin Hexie!

Isn't this unique?  This eye-catching log cabin hexie is by Sandi Suggs of Chattanooga, TN.  I love the color combination and the contrast between the "logs."  Sandi is definitely a HEXIE LOVER!  I'll be sharing more of her work, so stay tuned!

Gerda's Hexies!

Gerda sent me a picture of her fresh hexie quilt - reminds me of sherbet!  Yum!

Gerda is a good friend from the Birmingham Quilters Guild.  She used our new hexie technique (from our upcoming book) to make these.  She doesn't have a picture of the finished quilt, but I saw it - beautiful!

Thanks for sharing, Gerda!

FYI, I realized this afternoon that the e-mail link on the sidebar wasn't working.  All fixed now!  So if you have a hexie quilt, sent me a photo.  I'd love to share it here!

Colorful Hexie Diamonds

I'm so excited to share another blogger's work-in-progress.  Her name is Katherine Kelly-Ballinger and her blog is kellygirlquilts.blogspot.com.  What a FABULOUS hexie design.  This is the ultimate scrap project - wouldn't you agree?  And the black and white borders set the quilt off so nicely.  I can't wait to follow the progress of this one!

Mini Quilt with Hexies

The following post is from my co-author, Peggy G. Rhodes!

Looking for the perfect special occasion gift?  My good friend, Virginia Bonham, gave me one of the Ackfeld Table Stands for Quilts for my Birthday along with a November themed mini-quilt.  Each month on the day of my birthday (6th) she gives me a new quilt for the next month.  Of course, May had to be flowers and you can imagine my delight when I saw the great hexie flowers with yellow button centers.  Since we submitted our book manuscript about Hexies during May, this quilt will always have a special place in my heart.  It is truly wonderful to be remembered in such a nice way each month.  ----Peggy

An Etsy Find

Isn't this lovely?  You can find it for sale HERE!  The maker says it is 32" square and the hexies are only 3/4"!  TINY!

I see so many different edge finishes on hexies quilts; this one is squared off with that wonderful bias cut striped binding - LOVE IT!

Quilt Pro - Designing Quilts on a Mac

While Peggy and I were working on hexie quilt designs for the book I got really tired of coloring on hexagon graph paper.  I have a Mac computer, and most quilt design software (including EQ) doesn't come in a version for Mac's.  

I discovered Quilt-Pro.  It works for Mac's and has the ability to design hexie quilts!  Yay!

Here's a design I came up with that was not included in the book - but I still love it!  So graphic, yet simple.  I can see the green hexes done in a variety of color, even scrappy!  It would also make a great border design for a quilt.  Or how about a tote bag?  Lots of possibilities here!
