Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Instructions

I used a slash step as in the first blocks and then placed the hexagons as I wanted. Just be sure to leave extra fabric when inserting a curved slash. I had to add some fabric to get a 12" square.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Funky, Casual, Whimsical


Materials

kaffe fasset cottons, plus a couple others

What was your inspiration?

wanted to do something different and the bugs several others made brought to mind the fabrics I had.

What are you most proud of?

Looks ok I think

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be sure to use extra background fabric before cutting to size. I ran short as the curved pieces made the shape all wonky and I had to add a strip on the side to make a square.

your hexy's on the left look like morning glories! love those... love the whole block!! great job. maybe appliqueing the curved pieces could be an easy alternative. But hey when you're creating... :D love it love it!

Thanks so much. All this feed back is really wonderful, especially as I do not belong to a local quilt group.

Gad when I saw your moon block I just wanted to copy it-loved it so much. I am not sure what the reference is but I think an entire quilt of space theme would really be great.

Thank you so much -course Applekrisp and I both love Kaffe fassett fabric which makes the blocks different I think.
