So, when I initially started making my Hexy Plus blocks, (pattern here) I just made and made and made them. Then I realized I had made too many to make a throw quilt. But, I didn’t want to make the twin size. Not wanting my pretty fabric to go to waste, I made a baby quilt.
As I chose and paired fabrics for my blocks, I tried to maximize the contrast between each pairing. I love Anna Maria Horner’s fabrics, but they can be challenging to work with. It took me a good while so sort them into pairs I was happy with. Happily that’s one of the fun parts for me!
I tried to mix them so that most were pleasing to my eye but I wanted some to be a little shocking – not too shocking so that the shock over powered the fabrics.
Usually, I just pick a favorite print but for this quilt I couldn’t choose just one. I liked the result, so maybe in the future I will piece more backs?
Thanks for stopping by!

I love the bright orange flower print with the dark purple swarm/butterflies. Ah-may-zing!
