We will be moving next month! We are leaving Texas for New Hampshire. I am beyond excited by this new adventure. We have bought a new home and I can't wait to decorate it. We have been in our current home for 15 years. The kids have finished school and are either graduated or in college. So... my husband and I thought it was just the right time for another adventure.
With that being said, of course I need to make a quilt for the new place. I had started these rosettes a couple of years ago, loved them, but did not know what to do with them exactly. I just know my dining room in the new house would benefit by a wall hanging of these yummy rosettes. So I decided on my background fabric - Moda Cherry. So pretty and full of energy. I have been making more rosettes!
Striped fabric is the theme for this quilt. I love how the stripes give you secondary hexagon shapes within the rosette.
A few of them are not from striped fabric, but also fussy cut.
Here is the beginning of the wall hanging. I am not sure how wide to make it. So far I have five in a row. I may add a sixth one. I am loving making these again. I will continue to show the progress on this project. Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Wow - that's quite a move up to the snowy north!! LOL. I hope everything goes super smoothly. Your wall hanging looks great so far - love that cherry color and all the striped fabrics. I should do that sometime as I have a "thing" for striped fabrics...
ReplyDeleteExciting news Chantal! How far is it from A to B? Your hexies looks lovely - the cherry looks great - a good excuse to pull them out again!
ReplyDeleteIt's like a pretty runner just now. Lovely.
