The online quilting group Cyber Quilters is having fabric
origami, or the folding of fabric, as their bucket skill of the month. I
decided to join into the festivities and make something to match The Graceful
Garden quilt. Here is what I have done; I will finish this small project
tomorrow.
First, I cut a long strip, put about three dozen
quarter-inch tucks into it, ironed them, then flipped a little piece of each
tuck the opposite way and fastened them down with pearls, positioning the
pearls to curve in waves.
Next, I cut 22 large hexagons and 22 small hexagons,
then sewed a large to a small, folding and tucking just so... a quick
press of the iron...
This gives me an interesting idea for a
Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt.
Finally, I sewed two strips of 11 hexagons each,
then (reluctantly) trimmed the sides. (Next time I make these cute little
hexies, I will not trim them.)
Now they are sewn to the long tucked piece, and I
shall leave you to
speculate just what I might do with it next:
