Last December I cut up all of my small scraps and started making this hexagon quilt. I had seen pictures of the La Passacaglia quilt and decided to make my own much simplified version with overlapping hexagons - partly because I didn't want to invest in the papers and templates. Then last month I saw the papers and templates on sale on Massdrop and I totally caved. A sale and almost a year of seeing the most gorgeous La Passacaglia blocks totally broke my resolve not to start another EPP project.
I have put away my hexagon quilt for now and am focusing on my La Passacaglia. It is awesome! I worked on it today and got even further than this. It is going to take forever, but it is lots of fun choosing fabrics. Fussy cutting the flowers did waste quite a bit of fabric, but I hope to use those little bits in a different block. You are sure to see many more pictures of this project. :)
In the You Can Quilt! Blog Hop there have been posts on the Half Square Triangle, Quarter Square Triangle and Flying Geese Chapters. The posts are a great way to get a feel for the book and you can enter to win a copy of You Can Quilt! and a bundle of fabric at each of the posts. Check them out!
