Just this one to quilt and then I will start with the border, probably triangles like flying geese.

ONE BLOCK WONDER

Hi everybody!

Today I would like to share my one block wonder quilt. They are very fun to make and you never know what is coming out. This special one is made out of 41/2" triangles, sewn toghether in hexagons. I used about 100 hexagons. I hand quilted it.
I used the fantastic book ONE BLOCK WONDERS - ONE FABRIC - ONE SHAPE - ONE-OF-A-KIND QUILTS by MAXINE ROSENTHAL.

One block wonder in the kitchen. The border is an Amy Butler solid.






Original fabric -  Palazzo by Benartex
