Hexy Plus {Finish}

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!
