Houston Quilt Show - hexies

Sorry - today has to be a quickie post - lets stick with yesterday's hexie theme...

This was an antique quilt for sale on the vendor floor. A lot like the diamonds I am working on but I liked the setting. I couldn't open it up but I have a feeling it's set as a very large star. Even if it's not it's a place to start when I play with my hexagon graph paper...

I have a lot of 30s fabrics to use up but not so many solids - anyone want to trade something for some 30's solids?

The first day I meandered around the show floor (meandering was the best I could do - didn't care for the show setup and there was no map to carry around) I ran my camera battery into the ground. I can only assume that's why I never got any more pictures of this quilt nor any closeups. When I got back to NY I was completely disappointed to discover I didn't spend any more time studying it... Check out the baskets and the stars and the flowers...

This quilt was quite easy to find and I did spend a lot of time taking pictures of this one. I think these are 1/2" hexies and I just love the way the colors bleed into one another. Up close sometimes you wonder why 2 fabrics were together but from a galloping horse they are just beyond words. I have a lot of closeups that I would be happy to share with anyone who is interested...

Can you believe this is a miniature quilt?? It's made with 1/4" hexies and it looks like a bead has been added to the "petals" of each flower as part of the quilting process.

This is just a quarter of this quilt. The center appeared to be a 4 sectioned panel but I thought the hexie and other pieced borders added a lot to this quilt, especially since the panel didn't have a ton of color. Check out the hot-fix crystals too.
