The first was for my small guild of five members. The challenge was to make a modern quilt with only two fabrics. The fabrics could be multi-colored or solids. Out of character, I chose to make a quilt with two solid fabrics. I call this one Modern Hexies and I won 1st place in the challenge. I also entered this quilt into my large quilting guild challenge which was to make a hexagon quilt. It won first place in best longarm machine quilting category.
Honycomb Quads was my main entry into my large quilting guild challenge, make a quilt which feature the hexagon. I made this quilt similar to the stack-n-whack setting but used strings instead of repeat fabric segments. I also cut the hexagon into four rings and strip pieced my star points. The quilt won two ribbons: 2nd place in bed-size category and 3rd place for best longarm machine quilting category.
