Do you need some Christmas inspiration ? Today is the first day of the HO HO HO blog hop. A big “thank you” to Madame Samm and Carol, who are hosting this fun event.
After weeks of thinking which projects from a long list to make, on Friday I had a “last minute” idea and I started a new quilt.
So here is my new hexy quilt.
This is a “Star of David” pattern made out of 3/4” hexagons. I have other 4 versions of this pattern on my computer, come back next week to see them.
It was a quick project, I needed 180 hexagons. The fabric is Kona cotton; I love the scrappy center piece.
The quilting ? I had only 5 minutes to think of it and this is what I stitched- feathers; tutorial here if you are interested.
Outside the star – just simple stippling.
The hexagon star.
And just for inspiration: a Christmas ornament, made with ribbon – I love it; I don’t think I will try to make a new one until I have lots of short and sharp pins.
and some paper stars I made last year; when I will have pretty paper, I will make a few again.
Thank you for your visit!Geta

Thanks for WOWING us today!
