Handcrafted Hexagonal Quilt Wall Hanging of "Springtime Florals"




Handcrafted Hexagonal Quilt Wall Hanging of





I designed and created (without a pattern, so this quilt is completely unique) "Springtime Florals" as wall art, with an absolutely gorgeous combination of blues and greens. This quilt uses the One-Block Wonder technique developed by Maxine Rosenthal, which creates a visual kaleidoscope effect, using only one cut fabric made up of hundreds of hexagons. The fabric is cut into triangle shapes, then combined to make hexagons, which are positioned so that the colors and designs create an impressionist effect.

Added to the quilt to enhance the design are flowers from the orginal fabric, hand appliqued on the border.

This large hanging quilt was designed by myself and created in my home workspace. It receives constant comments regarding its colors and beauty. Created in a smoke-free home. Great art decoration for a home or office space.

Size: W54" x H58 1/2"

Machine pieced, machine quilted with cotton fabrics.

Hawaiian quilts are very different than those found on the mainland with the design often being more of an applique or a cut out silhouette, almost like a photo negative. In this instance, the repeating floral motif is obviously the applique approach. The designs are often cut out as if you were making a snowflake out of paper; the cloth is folded repeatedly, cut and then opened.

Not all Hawaiian quilts have a circular design, but it is not uncommon. What IS common is that bright, bold colors are used a great deal. No doubt, responding to their natural surroundings.

This was picked up in Kauai a few years ago.
