A Special Miniature made by Sonja

My wonderful friend Sonja made me this mini quilt as a Christmas gift.


The quilt is 7 1/2" x 10".  The hexagons are 1/4".  Do you see the fussy cut block.  Simply amazing.  Thanks so much Sonja.

A few years back I made a larger version that I called Birds in Grandmother's Garden.  I used 1" hexagons in mine.  Sonja asked for the pattern as she wanted to make it one day.  Little did I know that she would downsize it.  Here is a pic of the original quilt.


I love them both!  Have a great day everyone.

  7. These quilts are wonderful! I especially like the Birds in Grandmothers Garden quilt. Is there a pattern for this somewhere? I've been looking for a way to use some hexie flowers I've made into a quilt and this quilt would be perfect. Thanks for any direction you could give me.

  8. What a wonderful little quilt. I love the little hexies. I have 1/4 inch papers but haven't had the nerve to try them.

  10. What a wonderful gift! When I first started to hexie I tried the 1/4" hexies. I hated it and threw them in a cupboard. Thank god I gave it another try...and I'm trying to think of what to do with the 1/4" papers in that cupboard. LOL.
