Tula Hexies

Quilting Hearts & Wreaths has been my hand work since it's gone into the quilting frame. This week I took the time and finished hand sewing Tula Hexies together.

This flimsy is hand sewn, not EPP'd. I really enjoyed the hand sewing, it was very relaxing and easier on my hands than EPP.

Here Tula Hexies is resting on a porch chair. 

Here's she's posing on the living room area rug.

And the backside picture. Pressing isn't all the same. I just pressed whichever way the blocks wanted to turn. This will be machine quilted so it doesn't matter if there is bulk.

A cute black Tula print was used for the top and bottom borders. I hand sewed it onto the hexies.

Half hexie blocks were used to finish the sides. The border fabric is a black & white strip which will look nice with all the bright fabrics.

I had planned that all the striped fabrics would be pieced into a more interesting design. To do that, you need to remember to cut the hexies larger then re-cut them into triangles. I forgot 😔 to cut them larger, that is why there are some striped hexie blocks.

Tula Hexies is 51" by 80". The hexies are 2" hexies. You measure the length of one of the sides. I was inspired to make this quilt after watching Hanne and Deb working on their hexies at the November 2023 retreat. Why do I call it Tula hexies? All the fabrics are designed by Tula Pink and purchased at Clothesline Creations in Middlebury, IN.

Tula Hexies will hang in the 'to be quilted' closet until sometime this summer then I will machine quilt her. I know the design I want to use so hopefully it will come together.
