A little more on my "La Passacaglia"

Playing Again


I have been taking over the Dinning Table again for another fussy cutting session.


and have completed a filler block for the side


and another Rosette.


This time I have taken some photos of the fabric I have cut from as I get asked for this quite often.


The downside of this project.
What goes in, must come out.


Especially when you start to run out of papers.

  10. Hello, dear Sharon,
    First of all let me compliment you for the gorgeous quilt you're making, it's fascinating, and I just LOVE it. Atually, I'm getting obsessed with it and I do intend to order the book very soon. However, may I ask a question :
    - did you order the Paper Pièces pack to make this quilt, or is it do-able with the book only, without ordering the paper pièces ?? (money, money :))
    THANKS a bunch for you answer, dear.
    Enjoy your sewing !
    NADINE
    XOXOXO

  12. I was drawn to your site by your La Passacaglia project. Truly beautiful!

    Thanks so much for the comment regarding how you create the photo showing your progression. What a great idea.

  13. Exquisite! I am just finishing a hand pieced, hand quilted traditional hexie quilt with 4,700 3/4inch hexies. It's taken me the equivalent of 1/2 year's full time work to do this, but is much more rewarding than most jobs I've had. But yours? Well, it's mind boggling. I know what it takes, even to remove the paper pieces after stitching them together... let alone the fabric choices. I love this post. Thank you! Maybe my next hexie quilt will include other shapes and be something like yours. By the way, congrats to your husband... good Photoshop work!

  14. Your quilt is beautiful! Love seeing it come together. Just a thought though, if you punc a hole in the centre of each paper piece, it is really easy to remove the paper afterwards. All you need to do, is insert the tip of your unpicked and it lifts it out with a tiny flick :-)

  17. I love this, what an amazing concept for creating. I always thought you had to have larger pieces to create this look, like the 'One Block Wonder" I may try something like this.
