Supernova ~ Cutting Out a New Quilt Design

 Supernova Quilt
This quilt and pattern was originally published in Quilts from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, as Cosmic Blast.  I love the color explosion in this quilt so much, I've decided to redo the quilt and release it as a new Curlicue Creations pattern, Supernova, hopefully sometime this year.

 I cut most of the fabrics this week.  All fabrics are coming out of my stash ~ nothing new.  This gorgeous swirly dot print from Timeless Treasures is going to be used for all of the black in the quilt.  
 I love batik fabrics, and am putting a lot of them into this project.  I'm using this Red Orange for some of the triangle pieces.

And this darker Red Orange batik will help to add depth to the design.

I'll post more updates as this quilt develops.  

Be Creative ~ sew something today!

No More Loose Threads!

 Yesterday I finished working in all the loose thread ends on the Aura hexagon quilt.  Here it is!  Next I'll be adding the binding, sleeve, and label.  

 Here are a few more close-ups of this quilt.

 Do you like the yellow accents?  They are almost like flower centers ~ almost.

Stripes of vibrant colors showcasing gorgeous scraps of fabric.
This entire quilt top was pieced from my scrap basket.  The funny thing is, my scrap basket still looks the same.

Have a super day!

Tucking in Thread Ends - Aura Hexagon Quilt

 Here's a look at the Aura quilt without tangled thread ends all over it.

 I had enough time yesterday to weave in just over half of the thread ends.

I'm liking the results.

Not long now!

Have a colorful day,

Hexagon Quilting Eye Candy


Today I'm posting a few more pictures of the Aura hexagon quilt being quilted.


This quilt has been so much fun to make.


I love the way the pieces fit together and the colors flow across the quilt.


In this picture, you can really see the texture difference in the quilted and unquilted hexagons.

Have a lovely day,

My Little Helper


This is Shadow, my quilting buddy.  Shadow is afraid of the vacumn cleaner, my husband, and large birds, but he has no fear of the quilting machine.  Why is this?  The first time he ever dared to enter my home, I was quilting.  Does the machine sound like a giant mama kat purring?  It's a mystery.

  
Yesterday I was able to work on the Aura hexagon quilt for most of the afternoon.


It's getting close.  I can see the edge.  Maybe I will be able to finish the quilting during my next session.  I can't wait to see how it looks when it comes off the rails.

Do you have a quilting helper?  Leave a comment below.

Have a wonderful day!

The Rainbow Connection - Update #1


The Rainbow Connection hexagon quilt.  This week I've added more pink and a little purple.  These hexies finish at a small 3/4" per side.  Again, I'm only using fabrics from my scrap basket.  It should be fun to see how this one turns out.

Have a lovely day!

The Rainbow Connection - A Beginning


I am so in love with the process of making hexie quilts.  Here's my start to the next one, The Rainbow Connection.  As with Aura, I'll try to do a weekly update.  I hope you enjoy watching it all come together.

Have a lovely day,

Aura Quilt Top Completed!


Here it is!  The Aura hexagon quilt top, finally complete.  I took a clothesline pic because it's so wonderful outside today.  Sunny and 75 in December - gotta take advantage of that!  I've already started on my next hexie project, "The Rainbow Connection".  I'll be showing the beginnings of that one on my next post.

Have a lovely day,
