Katjas inspiration for this quilt came from Kaffe Fassetts fabric design called Millefiore. Katja says, I wanted to translate this into a quilt. Not just any quilt, but one based on the blocks in my book, to allow quilters another way to use these blocks. I loved the idea that this was much like the ancient glass caning technique of old, that by cutting and re-piecing the fabrics I was creating new designs from identical units. These identical units are the fractured hexagons from my New Hexagon, each already different and distinct, by nature of the shapes contained within.
The programme runs for 12 months.
A copy of The New Hexagon is required in order to complete the quilt blocks. The book is now out of print so you may be able to purchase second hand. There is an ebook version of the New Hexagon book that you can purchase from Paper Pieces.
