Patchwork Passion "Hexies in Flower Pots"

Our 2016 Shop Hop Quilt is finished and we are thrilled with the result and
 hope that you will like it too.


It is made in 1800s Reproduction fabrics from our extensive collection.
The flowers are made using the English Paper Piecing technique 
that is so popular right now.

The hexagon flowers, pots, leaves, stems have been hand appliqued onto the background

Your kit will include all the fabric for the nine blocks, the instructions 
and the card templates.


We will have a finishing kit so you can make your quilt look the same as ours.
It will include the sashing, borders and binding, plus finishing instructions.


Our quilt was quilted by Helen Harford and we love the way her quilting makes the flowers 'pop'.
