Big Hexagons Patchwork Quilt

Description

A modern take on the traditional patchwork design of interlocking hexagons. Each hexagon measures 22cm (9″). I’ve chosen 100% cotton fabrics with ditsy 1930’s print designs in a bright colour palette. The quilt measures 152cm (60″) wide x 164cm (65″) long. A great size to use as a cosy sofa throw or bed throw. It would also make a beautiful blanket to use in the garden to keep warm on a chilly evening or to spread on the ground and use as a picnic rug. The backing is also 100% cotton, featuring a text print in French. Inside the quilt is a warm, breathable and lightweight layer of quilters wadding made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester. I have quilted the three layers of the quilt together by repeating wavy lines of stitching across the entire quilt. Around the edge of the quilt is a double layer binding in a pretty cotton print. The quilt can be machine washed on a gentle cycle and is made to last from quality materials. Made in my smoke-free, pet-free home.
