Last year’s Block of the Month (BOM) at Studio Stitch was a series of complex hexagons made with the Jaybird Quilts rulers. You can read about the woman who designed this way to make them in my earlier post here.
I enjoyed making the blocks and most weren’t very difficult with the use of the rulers and Justiann’s good instructions.
They looked great when I put a few up on the design wall to view them together.
It was my intention to make the quilt using the Kaufman Effervescence fabric, like Holly did here:
Quilt (c) Holly Alloway, designed and made by her
The fabric was ordered by the shop months ahead of time, but it still hadn’t arrived when the BOM classes were finished. I auditioned several other fabrics and finally settled on black and white with metallic accents. Here’s the finished quilt. (There were several blocks left over.)
I’m not crazy about it. In this instance, I think my choice of secondary fabrics does nothing to enhance the blocks. However, a done quilt is a good quilt so I’m on to the next project.
Had any quilts like that lately?

First, I must say that your choice of secondary fabrics is stunning. It gives the quilt a more modern and sophisticated look.
As for a done quilt being a good quilt, I have had a few. My latest was my Rock Star Granny quilt. I almost didn’t finish it because I did not like the background fabric I had chosen. It’s done and on my bed, so I guess it is a good quilt.
I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the leftover blocks.
Ah, yes, the never-ending supply of orphan blocks 😀
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
The blocks are amazing!
Thanks! They were actually fun.
Those blocks look pretty difficult to make!
The woman who taught them had done a good job figuring out how to make them, but some were tedious anyway. I really liked the individual blocks, though.
