As you know I love the One Block Wonder method. This time I picked up a panel designed by Chong A-Hwang as a part of her collection \u201cDeep Forest\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The panel is quite big 60cm x 110cm, so the quilt came out big as well. Below you can see how the panel looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhen I saw it, I knew right away that the colors of that panel will be a perfect match to my room.<\/em> I ended up buying seven panels, six for OBW, and one more for the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, I put six of the panels one over the other and pinned them well. <\/p>\n\n\n I once wrote about this before, but now I can show you this method with the help of pictures.<\/em> When the panels were pinned, I measured them and divided them into equal parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I always divide my panels not in centimeters but in inches. I find it much easier to divide them, cut them,<\/em> and then sew them together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By the way I do not use metric rulers that often, I prefer the imperial system. I will not lie, making the<\/em> switch was difficult at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I was cutting my panels, I had to be careful not to run through the pins that were I used to join the<\/em> panels. And here I could use my newest rotary knife in this fabulous color, which I got from Mr.Jacek<\/em> Wrobel, the Olfa representative in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n The color of the knife matches my room too.<\/p>\n\n\n After all the strips were cut out, they needed to be cut again but this time into 60\u00b0 triangles.<\/em> In order to do that you do not need any special ruler; this regular imperial ruler has 60\u00b0 marked on it.<\/p>\n\n\n The stack of triangles started to get rather large and this meant two things, one, that there will be a lot<\/em> of hexagons, and two, that there will be a lot of sewing.<\/p>\n\n\n I first connected half of hexagons, whose\nseams I pressed with my rolling tool in the right<\/em>direction.<\/p>\n\n\n Next, I pinned the half-hexagons together. I needed to be incredibly careful to make all the pieces fit perfectly, in order to do that I pinned them I the center together with needles.<\/p>\n\n\n The pin in the center is necessary to make sure the two pieces of fabric are exactly in the center.<\/p>\n\n\n Next, I put two pins on the sides to keep the two pieces of fabric securely together.<\/em> The center pin was then removed because it will interfere with the sewing.<\/p>\n\n\n It came out cool.<\/p>\n\n\n After sewing the seams had to get pressed. This time second inspector showed up <\/em>\ud83d\ude0a I must admit, I was surprised by this visit because lately they rarely come by when I am working.<\/p>\n\n\n When all hexagons were ready the fun part began which is the assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n I changed my conception three times in how they should be arranged around the main panel.<\/em> It was a good thing that they were all sewn together, otherwise I would have to keep playing with the<\/em> arrangement using only the half-hexagons. This would have taken much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When everything was ready, I started to join hexagons into one peace.<\/p>\n\n\n I admit this is my least favorite step because it never works out perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n The back after sewing looks nice also.<\/p>\n\n\n When the whole peace was ready, I sewed it by hand to the main panel and then pulled out my Bernina<\/em> long-arm machine for the quilting.<\/em> To make my work easier I got a brilliant idea. I cut the quilting design from freezer paper.<\/em> Next, I glued them on my top, which was already stretched on the long-arm. I quilted following the<\/em> template I made. That made my work easier and the final effect came out nice.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
