The Giant Giant Hexagon Quilt

For the past week or so I have been working on a new quilt top for our bed.  I know that I talked a little about doing a Glam Clam quilt, but when I looked at the directions I realized that I was not into making that many Glam Clams (I do intend to make a smaller Glam Clam quilt later).  So I went with plan B.

Now I know that this looks a little scary, but this (by far) the fastest queen size quilt I have ever put together.  I did ALL of the cutting in one day thanks to this great little trick.

I initially decided to use this tutorial, but after looking at the directions I realized that I could use my Creative Grids 60 degree triangle ruler to make the cutting go super fast.  I just put masking tape on the 4" line (the top tape) and the 8.5" line (the bottom tape).  Then I cut 4.5" wide strips of fabric, stacked it 4 layers high, and then lined the fabric up between the tape and cut along the outside of the ruler.  It was so fast.

Then I followed the rest of the tutorial.  Even though my seams were really long, my points lined up beautifully and I am really pleased with the results.  The only problem now is that there is no way I am up for basting a 100" x 104" quilt while pregnant so I am looking into sending it in to a long arm quilter.

I already asked for some suggestions on Instagram, but if you have a quilter that you absolutely love, I would appreciate any recommendations.  Getting a quilt this large quilted is expensive and I am a little nervous about sending it out!

  1. Try Melissa at http://www.sewshabbyquilting.com/

    I've not used her, but I hope to. I've read a lot of bloggers who have used her (Amy Smart, Maureen Cracknell, etc). Her work is beautiful.

    Your quilt is to DIE for! Hope you're feeling fine. :-)

  3. As a longarm-er, when I look at a customer's quilt, there are several questions at the top of the order form that often shape the kind of FMQing the quilt will require.
    For example: is it for everyday use? is it for a competition? Just these first 2 questions can greatly impact the cost because one is meant to be soft and cuddly while the other requires intense custom work making it stiffer.
    Since I know this is for everyday use for both you and your husband, I would ask if you have considered straight stitching with random orange peel blossoms. Masculine and feminine, but not overly so.
    Just a quick thought.

  6. Hi Erica - I use the long arm quilters at clothandquilts.com - I have used them for years - I mail my quilts to them. They do a great job and are really fast, also, I think their prices are reasonable. Hope this helps! Love the hexes!!!

  12. I'm so glad to read your ruler hint. I've always loved the hexagon but also didn't want to paper piece or hand sew. Your quilt is wonderful. Enjoy!

  13. I adore this! Your fabric choices are perfect to blend with the half hexie edges. I just did the same tape trick with my Hex n More ruler, for 60* triangles! Thanks for pointing to a lovely tutorial. I hope you are feeling well.

  20. Our Chandigarh escorts sex idea is stereotyped and totally contradictory. Magazines say that you have to be sophisticated in bed like guys, and society is ready to hang the label of a girl that is easily accessible to anyone who suggests that they are indifferent towards sex. Perhaps it is time to stop listening to others and listen to you finally? Does what others think really matter?
