Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday!

Welcome! Thanks for popping in for TGIFF - Thank Goodness it's Finished Friday!
If you're new to the blog, I’m Jenn and you're now A Quarter Inch from the Edge. Don't worry... it's not dangerous! I'm a modern quilter with a love of solids. Lately, it's been a challenge to make time to sew and blog about it, but the relaxation and creative outlet it provides is too important to give up.

This week’s finish is one I'm very proud of - my own version of Elizabeth Hartman's Honey (from Modern Patchwork). It was the last of five projects that I pledged to complete from my quilting library as part of Chezzetcook Modern Quilts' Library Project last year.

It's also special because I made this one just for me. When I sit at the desk in my studio and look up, there it is!

This quilt features some lovely Kona blues: Azure, Breakers, Caribbean, Lagoon, Peacock, Pool. The sashing is Kona Silver. Each hexagon features a wedge of low volume print. There's some Domino Dot, a little Botanics, and some SunPrint Text to name a few.

  The backing is Paris Flea Market by Moda. It's got just a hint of blue...

I echo quilted each hexagon, leaving the low volume wedges untouched.

I'm pretty pleased the ghost hexagons that I quilted in the upper corner/negative space. I often default to straight line quilting so this quilt is a departure for me!

Given that this is the last of my quilts for the Library Project, it's like a double Finish!
