MORE THAN JUST HEXAGONS
Inspiration
More Than Just Hexagons design is based on the hexagonal shape itself, which was developed from a doodle done whilst talking on the telephone to a friend. I used the hexagonal shape to create the structure of vertical lines and shapes that are the main design feature of the quilt. The colours evolve from those in the coverlet, mostly pinks and blues. The motifs were created based on some of those found in the coverlet.
Materials and techniques
Hand dyed and screen printed, deconstructed fabrics and commercial fabrics
Fused applique
Machine quilting
Hand embroidery
